Taxi of Tomorrow

Bloomberg overstepped legal bounds by ordering taxi owners to buy only one vehicle, a judge ruled.

Mayor Bloomberg introduced the Nissan LEAF taxi, which he said will help make the city cleaner.

The court ruled in favor of the TLC, which has claimed it has no obligation to make cabs accessible.

People who attended a private meeting on accessible taxis said the designs have a long way to go.

Embattled City Comptroller John Liu said the city must mandate that all new cabs be wheelchair accesible.

Nissan unveiled the completed design, which incorporates a sun roof and a 'low-annoyance' horn.

A new handicap-accessible taxi, the MV-1, was unveiled Tuesday.

In a court hearing, a city attorney claimed the TLC has no obligation to make cabs accessible for all.

About a dozen advocates in wheelchairs staged a "roll-in" on Thursday to protest the city's new "Taxi of Tomorrow" design, which does not accommodate those with disabilities. 

At an exhibit near Madison Square Park on Tuesday, Nissan gave the public its first look at the interior of the "Taxi of Tomorrow."

The new lights will make it easier to identify who's to blame for the horn, Mayor Bloomberg said Friday.

The Japanese car maker was named the maker of the city's new cabs on Tuesday.

Riders also disliked the backseat TVs, according to a survey by the TLC as part of their "Taxi of Tomorrow" contest.

A non-working model of one of the three Taxi of Tomorrow finalists was unveiled Wednesday.
