Last month Bloomberg announced a plan to legalize hailing livery cabs in outer boroughs—surprising many who thought it already was legal. The idea quickly wracked up fans and detractors alike and now it is time to hash out the details. So, hot on the heels of its Taxi of Tomorrow survey, the TLC is looking for your opinion.
The city acknowledges that outer borough residents are underserved by taxis and the hope is that this survey will help them tailor the new livery rules in everyone's best interest. Personally, we just want checks in place to keep drivers from gouging their fares. The whole survey takes two minutes.
