MDs at my firm can easily afford any such surcharges, and for many it will be business write offs, and not even their own.
Fund public infrastructure - put more buses on roads, maybe even limit some avenues and roads for buses only. Reduce the costs - yes, I know NYC tickets are really low, but make them simpler and easier for people to get a monthly pass and hop on buses, Really, buses everywhere even if they operate at net losses - get the business to subsidize bringing their workers in.
