Mr. Christie's request followed reports in the news media about a small group of passengers who gathered just before the toll plaza on the New Jersey side of the bridge, in order to take advantage of a discount of $6 for group travelers.
Port Authority officials had started giving out tickets last summer drivers, ticketing of traffic violations to drivers that pick up pedestrians gathered at the common meeting place: a bus stop located just before to the George Washington Bridge .In giving out those tickets, the Port Authority cited security concerns, and warned drivers against offering rides to strangers.
