TLC Wants Help With Bloomberg's Livery Cab Street Hailing Plan

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.

Survey does not allow for the most important imput - ours. I would like them all to carry the same good insurance for the passengers in the event of an accident - same as a yellow cab.

i thought bloomtard promised that we'd be able to CALL for a yellow cab at some point.

must be another thing he's holding onto so voters will give him a fourth term.

always keep that in mind, bloomtard lovers:

everything he did after his first term is bogus, b/c he had a four year gig to get everything he wanted done, and which showed his priorities (and it wasn't calming traffic or installing bike lanes or pretending to be green)!
