Recently, New York’s Taxi and Limousine Commission said yes to a plan to deploy touch-screens in all 13,000-city cabs. The monitors not just allow riders cough up via credit card, however encompass GPS technology and information about bars and restaurants.
Though, several drivers go up against the plan, because of the cost of the screens, credit card fees, and time lost if the monitor require repair. Many cabbies are still worried about the GPS tracking their routes.
The drivers also opposed the taxi commission keeping track of their movements albeit they have said that only pickup and drop-off locations will be recorded. The vehicles is to be upgraded starting October 1.
