The Taxi and Limousine Commission is looking for help in designing the taxicab of tomorrow.
The agency is asking more than 100 automotive manufacturers for ideas on how to create an iconic taxi fleet that is safe, comfortable and environmentally friendly, officials announced yesterday. The companies have two months to submit ideas.
It¹s unclear when the next generation of cabs will hit the streets, the TLC said. The call for ideas comes after the mayor¹s office declared last year that all cabs must be hybrid by 2012, essentially phasing out the Crown Victoria in three to five years.
Mixx it!
