Two new types of “taxis” will soon be introduced into the New York City transportation market. First, a U.S. federal court recently approved a class action settlement in an action brought by The Taxis for All Campaign which provides for 7,000 wheel-chair accessible medallion taxis by 2020http://www.dnaindo.com/new-york. Second, SheTaxis/SheRides is a car service app intended to provide female drivers of cars which will only carry female passengers. These additions to an already intensely competitive transportation market in New York City featuring, inter alia, the medallion taxi fleet and Uber and Lyft ride sharing services [see Car and Apartment Sharing in New York State and Beyond at www.nycourts.gov/courts/9jd/taxcertatd.shtml] gives tourists additional transportation options when visiting the Big Apple.
