Inner City Taxi

About has more cars than New York taxis licensed, but it's still not the 'taxi of tomorrow'.

There' s more over-drivers now than New York taxijacks. However, the city's taxi fleets are about to receive a competitively priced upgraded. NYC's yellows of New York City and all the horns and curses that go with them are essential gears in the New York plane. However, are yellows still pertinent in the era of Uber and other ride-hailing applications?

Initially narrated by the AP on Thursday, numbers released by the City Council indicate Uber has a bigger fleet of drivers in New York than amber taxis. New Yorkers, according to the narrative, can welcome a journey of over 14,000 over-drivers versus just over 13,500 amber taxis.

However, this is not a disaster for the city's taxis. Firstly, it is becoming increasingly clear that despite the rapid increase in app-controlled automobile service, yellows are still a low-cost, if not the lowest, urban transport alternative. Recent research by Cambridge University and other university scientists found that a taxi trip in New York for 35 dollars or less is less expensive than a trip to the same city.

New York will also launch the "Taxi of Tomorrow" initiative on April 20 this year. Started under former major Michael Bloomberg, the scheme will substitute high-tech and fuel-efficient Nissan MPVs for the expiring amber taxis. Around 80 per cent of the New York taxi fleets will be made up of these new and upgraded transporters.

Nearly exactly one months after Uber was acknowledged as the city' dominating transportation company, the time of the launch is less than ideal: How can NYC's yellows be the "taxi of tomorrow" when Uber has more vehicles on the street? It is also fitted with a range of exhilarating features that are not found in a Toyota Camry or most other vehicle types that are typical of bicycle hangar use.

This new taxi features a charger with two built-in US B port chargers that can recharge a smart phone, notebook or tray. The New York taxi business is still facing a steep rise in the comfort and mobility arenas that made Uber and Lyft so huge. Some of the city's taxi drivers still have to create their own portable application to use.

According to reports, the city councillor has presented a law to help the cabin manufacturers develop their own highly competetive appeals. When New Yorkers can finally welcome these glittering new taxi phones with their smart phones, the flood could turn quickly. Don't grieve for the New York taxis. "Tomorrow's cab" can indeed be a taxi.
