NEWARK--The mayor has released details on a tentative agreement he’s reached with ride-hailing company Uber to operate in the state’s largest city.
The deal calls for Uber to pay Newark $1 million a year for 10 years for permission to operate at Newark Liberty International Airport, which serves the New York City region and is one of the busiest airports in the nation.
