After court ruling, TLC will hold public hearing on Thursday, October 10th mandating all yellow cab hack-ups be wheelchair accessible (WAV) until 50% of taxi medallions are attached to WAVs
Itβs probably not so much needed now but the baby boomer population is getting older and remaining alive, albeit with limited mobility. I suppose itβs better to prepare now than to have a mobility crisis in 10-20 years.
I fear a similar system will be coming to FHV. Yellow taxis basically only occupy Manhattan below 100th Street. What about the rest of NYC?
Technically Green Rides is 100% WAV or EV by 2030 and likely WAV & EV eventually
A very small percentage of trips will ever NEED a wav. I don't personally know much about this but i don't see why 50% have to be wav.

Good point
