New York City's Taxis Could Get Their Own App To Compete With Lyft And Uber
If one Manhattan lawmaker gets his way, you'll be able to hail any NYC taxi from an app on your phone like you do with Uber and Lyft.
On Monday, New York City Council Member Ben Kallos introduced legislation that would require New York City to have its own app for hailing taxi cabs.
“City taxis need an app of their own to compete, and New Yorkers need to be able to get a cab in the rain without having to worry about surge pricing," Kallos said in a press release.
