FDNY could charge around $1.4K for ambulance rides with new price hike proposal

The FDNY is proposing to raise the price of an ambulance ride by over 50 percent.The cost of a ride, that is called through 911, would go up from $900 to nearly $1,400.There would also be an increase in charges per mile to the hospital from $15 to $20.The department says the hike is needed because of inflation, as well as a pay bump for EMS workers.
