Proposed legislation by Manhattan NYC Council Member Ben Kallos would establish a city-run API, or open software platform, that would allow other vendors to build apps that hail taxis and other for-hire vehicles. The technology would also allow yellow and green taxis to be hailed through Uber and Lyft’s app.

“When I raise my hand on the street, I don’t care what yellow cab company stops for me. I just want a cab…People should be able to raise their hand digitally and get a response from anyone... And every driver could compete regardless of what company they drive for. It gives drivers a way to cut out the middleman of Uber and Lyft and go directly to the consumer.” - NYC Council Member Ben Kallos
