A celebratory look at the 45 days of fierce protest, shrewd organizing, and ferocious solidarity that ended the debt nightmare that had engulfed the taxi industry.
Assembly Members Zohran Mamdani and Yuh-Line Niou broke a 15-day fast this week after the city reached a deal with one of the largest taxi medallion len.
The average debt for cabbies is $500,000, and now the city has reached an agreement with the largest holder of taxi medallions to lower that to at-most $170,000.
