NYC Taxi Trips Surge Amid Congestion Pricing

Posted by NYCYellowCabTaxi.com on February 17, 2025   |   Leave a reply

Since the launch of New York City’s congestion pricing toll program on January 5, 2025, more New Yorkers appear to be opting for Yellow Cab New York rides, according to transportation officials.

New data from the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) indicates a 10% rise in taxi trips in the week of January 5-12, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Commissioner David Do shared this update during a City Council oversight hearing on February 10, discussing the impact of congestion pricing on the NYC taxi industry.

NYC Taxi Drivers Demand Bathroom Break Placards

Posted by NYCYellowCabTaxi.com on February 2, 2025   |   Leave a reply

NYC Taxi drivers are calling on city officials to address a longstanding issue—access to restrooms without the risk of receiving costly parking tickets. At a recent rally, the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers urged the Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to implement emergency parking placards, allowing drivers to double-park for up to 10 minutes while using a restroom.

“It’s unacceptable that hardworking NYC Taxi drivers face fines simply for taking a necessary bathroom break,” said Fernando Mateo, a spokesperson for the federation. “These drivers endure grueling shifts, often up to 12 hours, and should not have to choose between their health and their livelihood.” Continue reading →

NYC Scraps ‘Solvent’ Requirement in Revised Taxi Insurance Rules

Posted by NYCYellowCabTaxi.com on February 2, 2025   |   Leave a reply

New York City has decided to roll back a proposed regulation that would have required NYC Taxi and rideshare drivers to be insured by a “solvent and responsible” provider. The shift comes after Uber Technologies Inc. warned that the mandate could leave thousands of drivers without coverage.

The Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC), which oversees for-hire vehicles in the city, has now adjusted the rule to require that insurance policies simply be “issued by companies authorized to do business” in New York state. This change removes the burden on vehicle owners to assess the financial stability of their insurance carriers, according to an updated version of the rule posted on the agency’s website.

NYC Taxi Drivers Demand Right to Lock Doors After Passenger’s Murder

Posted by NYCYellowCabTaxi.com on January 30, 2025   |   Leave a reply

Following the brutal killing of a passenger in a livery cab on Coney Island, NYC taxi drivers are demanding the right to lock their doors to protect themselves and their riders.

Michael Shelonchik, 53, was violently pulled from the back of a livery cab and beaten to death on Tuesday after two unidentified assailants opened the vehicle’s door and attacked him, according to police.

In response, the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers (NYSFTD) is calling for immediate policy changes, arguing that existing regulations put both drivers and passengers at unnecessary risk.

Clubhouse for cabbies offers respite for drivers during their shifts

Posted by NYCYellowCabTaxi.com on September 25, 2023   |   Leave a reply

The city’s overworked, under-rested cabbies finally have a dedicated place to chill out, with the grand opening of a brand new “Taxi Clubhouse” specifically for drivers to relax.

The clubhouse, located at 22nd Street and Seventh Avenue in Chelsea, provides much-needed amenities often lacking for drivers working long shifts all over the city, such as bathrooms, food, beverages, and wifi, but also cool amenities like TVs, video games, a gym, and space to pray.

Man’s ashes left in taxi for 2 days; family grateful for return

Posted by NYCYellowCabTaxi.com on August 31, 2023   |   Leave a reply

The Taxi and Limousine Commission recorded over 2,500 cellphones, wallets, purses and other items were accidentally left in taxi cabs last year alone. However, one thing that virtually never makes the list of items left behind is the ashes of a deceased person.

Family members and friends of a beloved New York City businessman reported the loss and ended up appreciating what happened. They called it a posthumous gift from their loved one, given in a way only he could. 

“Absolutely humorous for dad’s ashes to go missing,” said the son of the deceased, who requested that his father’s identity not be revealed.

Cab and ride-hailing drivers demand exemption for congestion pricing

Posted by NYCYellowCabTaxi.com on August 18, 2023   |   Leave a reply

With the MTA moving forward with plans to implement congestion pricing, which would be tolls for drivers coming into Manhattan below 60th Street, more and more cab and ride-hailing drivers are worried about how it will impact their income.

“Congestion pricing, it’s going to be more money from our pocket,” said taxi driver Jose Valderrama. “I really believe that they shouldn’t do it. For yellow cabs or even Uber. We are coming to work, not coming to ride.”
