The number of taxis on city streets could double under a new City Council bill introduced Tuesday that attempts to level the playing field between warring cab and e-hail industries.
There’s currently a cap of 13,587 taxi medallions in New York City. Because that cap is mandated by state law, Rodriguez’s bill is a workaround meant to boost the struggling industry. Medallion prices have plummeted since 2013, as Uber gained a foothold in the city. From a peak value of $1.1 million in 2014, taxi medallions now transfer for between $150,000 and $580,000.
Правда не пойму в чем будет привлекателность.У Юбера и Лифта водил заинтерисовывают бонусами на поездки и они у них неплохие,конечно не всем а тока тем ,кто реально катает а не подрабатывает.
