yellow and green; they are widely recognizable symbols of the city. Taxis painted yellow (medallion taxis) are able to pick up passengers anywhere in the <a href="/wiki/Borough_(New_York_City)" class="mw-redirect" title="Borough (New York City)">five boroughs</a>. Taxis painted apple green (street hail livery vehicles, commonly known as "<a href="/wiki/Boro_taxi" title="Boro taxi">boro taxis</a>"), which began to appear in August 2013, are allowed to pick up passengers in <a href="/wiki/Upper_Manhattan" title="Upper Manhattan">Upper Manhattan</a>, <a href="/wiki/The_Bronx" title="The Bronx">the Bronx</a>, <a href="/wiki/Brooklyn" title="Brooklyn">Brooklyn</a>, <a href="/wiki/Queens" title="Queens">Queens</a> (excluding <a href="/wiki/LaGuardia_Airport" title="LaGuardia Airport">LaGuardia Airport</a> and <a href="/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_International_Airport" title="John F. Kennedy International Airport">John F. Kennedy International Airport</a>), and <a href="/wiki/Staten_Island" title="Staten Island">Staten Island</a>. Both types have the same fare structure. Taxicabs are operated by private individuals or companies and licensed by the <a href="/wiki/New_York_City_Taxi_and_Limousine_Commission" title="New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission">New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission</a> (TLC). It also oversees over 40,000 other for-hire vehicles, including "black cars", <a href="/wiki/Dollar_van" class="mw-redirect" title="Dollar van">commuter vans</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Ambulette" class="mw-redirect" title="Ambulette">ambulettes</a>. Taxicab vehicles, each of which must have a <a href="/wiki/Taxi_medallion" title="Taxi medallion">medallion</a> to operate, are driven an average of 180 miles (290 km) per shift. As of March 14, 2014<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Taxis_of_New_York_City&action=edit">[update]</a>, there were 51,398 individuals licensed to drive medallion taxicabs. There were 13,605 taxicab medallion licenses in existence. By July 2016<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Taxis_of_New_York_City&action=edit">[update]</a>, that number had dropped slightly to 13,587 medallions, or 18 lower than the 2014 total. Taxi patronage has declined since 2011 due to competition from <a href="/wiki/Ridesharing_companies" class="mw-redirect" title="Ridesharing companies">ridesharing companies</a>. The medallion system was created in 1937 as a government imposed limitation on the supply of taxicabs, requiring that a medallion be purchased for the right to operate a taxi. Thereafter, New York did not sell any medallions until 1996, when it auctioned slightly more than 2,000. The lack of new medallions resulted in such a shortage that by 2014 they were selling for more than $1 million each, with about 14,000 medallions in existence. Since then, the increase in rideshare vehicles, which numbered about 63,000 in 2015 and 100,000 by August 2018, has drastically reduced the market price of medallions.<a href="#cite_note-Horwitz_2012-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-Van_Gelder_1996-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-Hu_2017b-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-NYT20180808-4">[4]</a> As of September 2012<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Taxis_of_New_York_City&action=edit">[update]</a>, there are around 7,990 <a href="/wiki/Hybrid_electric_vehicle" title="Hybrid electric vehicle">hybrid</a> taxi vehicles, representing almost 59% of the taxis in service, as of 2023, there are over 12,000 taxis in New York City, the most in any city in North America.

Later that year he imported 65 gasoline-powered cars from France and began the New York Taxicab Company. The cabs were originally painted red and green, but Allen repainted them all yellow to be visible from a distance. By 1908 the company was running 700 taxicabs.<a href="#cite_note-npr.org-41">[41]</a> Within a decade several more companies opened business and taxicabs began to proliferate.

With more drivers than passengers, cab drivers were working longer hours, which led to growing public concern over the maintenance and mechanical integrity of taxi vehicles. To resolve these issues, the city considered creating a taxi monopoly, but the plan was abandoned after New York City Mayor <a href="/wiki/Jimmy_Walker" title="Jimmy Walker">Jimmy Walker</a> was accused of accepting a bribe from the Parmelee Company, the largest taxi company. In 1937, Mayor <a href="/wiki/Fiorello_H._La_Guardia" class="mw-redirect" title="Fiorello H. La Guardia">Fiorello H.

Cabbies were often robbed, injured, or murdered. Despite widespread use of bullet-resistant taxi partitions, introduced in 1967,<a href="#cite_note-nymag_2012-21">[21]</a> seven cab drivers were killed and 3,000 were robbed in the first nine months of 1970. The response from regulators was to contend that "continued violent crime against cab drivers" (despite partition mandates) merited a new "lock-box" requirement. That requirement was abandoned, quietly, after it was realized that in response, the cabs themselves in the city were being stolen.<a href="#cite_note-49">[48]</a> By the mid-1970s, there was a shortage in drivers, and as many as one-fifth of taxicabs were in the garage at any given time. Drivers only needed to take a test to show proof that they understood English; demonstrate knowledge of 29 major corridors and 168 routes to popular landmarks; and be able to point out the locations of ten to fifteen landmarks, using a geographical directory provided during the test. Despite the fact that many potential applicants did not know locations outside Manhattan well, almost all applicants passed the test. By 1975, although the TLC was issuing 40,000 licenses yearly, there was a high proportion of new drivers: less than one-third of the 40,000 licenses were those being renewed by cab drivers who were already working, while two-thirds of the licenses were issued to new drivers.<a href="#cite_note-50">[49]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="1980s">1980s</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Taxis_of_New_York_City&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: 1980s">edit</a>]</div> From the mid-1980s into the 1990s, demographics changed among cabbies as new waves of immigrants arrived to New York City. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, of the 62,000 cab drivers in New York City, 82% were foreign born: 23% being from the Caribbean (the <a href="/wiki/Dominican_Republic" title="Dominican Republic">Dominican Republic</a> and <a href="/wiki/Haiti" title="Haiti">Haiti</a>) and 30% being from South Asia (<a href="/wiki/Bangladesh" title="Bangladesh">Bangladesh</a>, <a href="/wiki/India" title="India">India</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Pakistan" title="Pakistan">Pakistan</a>).<a href="#cite_note-nymag_2012-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-Benepe_2007-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-The_Changing_Face_of_Taxi_and_Limousine_Drivers-19">[19]</a> Throughout the 1980s, working conditions for cabbies changed as crime in New York City was curtailed. Additionally, the cost of medallion licenses increased and fewer cabbies owned their taxicabs. In 1982, production of the iconic Checker Taxi Cab ceased although many remained in operation. The Chevrolet Caprice and Ford Crown Victoria became the industry's top choices, with formerly used police cruisers providing a steady supply for cab fleets. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="1990s">1990s</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Taxis_of_New_York_City&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: 1990s">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Chevrolet_Caprice_Taxi_Nyc.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Chevrolet_Caprice_Taxi_Nyc.jpg/220px-Chevrolet_Caprice_Taxi_Nyc.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="123" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Chevrolet_Caprice_Taxi_Nyc.jpg/330px-Chevrolet_Caprice_Taxi_Nyc.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Chevrolet_Caprice_Taxi_Nyc.jpg/440px-Chevrolet_Caprice_Taxi_Nyc.jpg 2x" data-file-width="800" data-file-height="447" /></a><figcaption>Chevrolet Caprice NYC Cab in the 1990s</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:NYC_Taxi_Ford_Crown_Victoria.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/NYC_Taxi_Ford_Crown_Victoria.jpg/220px-NYC_Taxi_Ford_Crown_Victoria.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="134" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/NYC_Taxi_Ford_Crown_Victoria.jpg/330px-NYC_Taxi_Ford_Crown_Victoria.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/NYC_Taxi_Ford_Crown_Victoria.jpg/440px-NYC_Taxi_Ford_Crown_Victoria.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1912" data-file-height="1164" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/Ford_Crown_Victoria" title="Ford Crown Victoria">Ford Crown Victoria</a> became the most used yellow cab in New York City in the 1990s</figcaption></figure> On July 11, 1992, thousands of taxi drivers used their taxis to block traffic in protest at the number of taxi drivers who had been murdered:<a href="#cite_note-Wolff_1992-51">[50]</a><a href="#cite_note-52">[51]</a> 35 taxi drivers had been murdered so far that year,<a href="#cite_note-Wolff_1992-51">[50]</a> and 45 had been killed the previous year.<a href="#cite_note-nymag_2012-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-53">[52]</a> Laws since 1996 require that taxis be replaced every six years regardless of condition; this was increased to seven years in 2015, though some taxis are exempt for historical significance.<a href="#cite_note-54">[53]</a> In December 1996, <a href="/wiki/Chevrolet" title="Chevrolet">Chevrolet</a> ceased making the <a href="/wiki/Chevrolet_Caprice" title="Chevrolet Caprice">Caprice</a>,<a href="#cite_note-55">[54]</a> with the last Caprice 9C6 taxi packages being in service until the early 2000s.

In 1998, the TLC enacted a package of regulatory reforms, inspired by Mayor <a href="/wiki/Rudy_Giuliani" title="Rudy Giuliani">Rudy Giuliani</a>, that included a structured framework of enhanced driver standards.

The TLC also lost a series of cases in state courts, for implementing rules without allowing for notice and comment. In 2000, another federal judge ruled that the Operation Refusal sting violated cabbies' due process rights. In 2004, TLC inspectors were embarrassed when they handcuffed and arrested 60 Minutes reporter <a href="/wiki/Mike_Wallace" title="Mike Wallace">Mike Wallace</a>, charging him with disorderly conduct for allegedly having acted aggressively toward a TLC Inspector in defense of his driver. In 2006, the city was forced to settle the remaining aspects of the Operation Refusal case. Under the settlement, the TLC agreed to pay a group of 500 taxi drivers $7 million.<a href="#cite_note-65">[64]</a> In order to encourage greater use of passenger seat belts to prevent partition-related injuries, the TLC instituted the "Celebrity Talking Taxi" program in 1997, using celebrity audio messages to urge passengers to buckle up and take a receipt at the ride's conclusion. The messages proved largely unpopular with both drivers and riders, as the TLC learned after conducting an online survey about the program in the fall of 2002. On the strength of those results, the Commission officially terminated the program in February 2003.<a href="#cite_note-66">[65]</a> In 1996, the number of medallions changed for the first time in 60 years.

class="thumbcaption">By the mid-2010s the <a href="/wiki/Toyota_Camry" title="Toyota Camry">Toyota Camry Hybrid</a> would emerge as a dominant model for New York City taxicabs</div></div></div></div></div> In 2005, New York introduced incentives to replace its current yellow cabs with electric hybrid vehicles such as the <a href="/wiki/Toyota_Prius" title="Toyota Prius">Toyota Prius</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ford_Escape_Hybrid" class="mw-redirect" title="Ford Escape Hybrid">Ford Escape Hybrid</a>.<a href="#cite_note-68">[67]</a> In May 2007, New York City Mayor <a href="/wiki/Michael_Bloomberg" title="Michael Bloomberg">Michael Bloomberg</a> proposed a five-year plan to switch New York City's taxicabs to more fuel-efficient <a href="/wiki/Hybrid_vehicles" class="mw-redirect" title="Hybrid vehicles">hybrid vehicles</a> as part of an agenda for New York City to reduce <a href="/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions" title="Greenhouse gas emissions">greenhouse gas emissions</a>. However, the plan was dropped after cab companies complained that the cost of maintaining the new hybrid vehicles vastly outweighed the tiny amount of fuel savings they got from going smaller.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Proponents of the traditional <a href="/wiki/Lincoln_Town_Car" title="Lincoln Town Car">Lincoln Town Car</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ford_Crown_Victoria" title="Ford Crown Victoria">Ford Crown Victoria</a> say they were well suited to their task, while others said customers who cared for the environment preferred hybrids.<a href="#cite_note-novic-69">[68]</a> Not only that, but passenger safety also became an issue with the newer vehicles,[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] and 6 months after the program took effect, it was dropped. Still, the proportion of the taxi fleet made up of Crown Victorias has dropped over time. In 2010, it stood at about 60% of yellow cabs, as the number of Ford Escape Hybrid and <a href="/wiki/Toyota_Sienna" title="Toyota Sienna">Toyota Sienna</a> minivans kept rising.<a href="#cite_note-novic-69">[68]</a> The percentage of Crown Victoria taxis in the city would be further undercut by the adoption of the similarly sized <a href="/wiki/Toyota_Camry" title="Toyota Camry">Toyota Camry Hybrids</a> since 2010, and the <a href="/wiki/Toyota_Prius_V" title="Toyota Prius V">Toyota Prius V</a>. By 2015, the Ford Crown Victoria fleet would be nearly entirely replaced. Originally, before October 2007, NYC Yellow cabs displayed the fare stickers in the front doors and the words "NYC Taxi" and the medallion number on the back doors. On September 30, 2007, all of the yellow cab decals were redesigned. The cabs were easily identified with the medallion number followed with a checker pattern on the left and right rear fenders, a futuristic fare panel on the rear doors, and a retro "NYC Taxi" logo on the front doors, with a yellow T in a black circle.<a href="#cite_note-70">[69]</a> In August 2012, the TLC phased out the design in favor of one that drops the "axi," leaving only the NYC logo and the circle-T. The detailed fare information on the rear doors was also replaced, replaced with a simple statement of a metered rate unless traveling to <a href="/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_International_Airport" title="John F. Kennedy International Airport">JFK Airport</a>, where a flat fare is charged.<a href="#cite_note-71">[70]</a> The TLC also mandated that by the end of January 2008 all taxis should be equipped with a Passenger Information Monitor that is a screen in the backseat that can provide entertainment, a live <a href="/wiki/GPS" class="mw-redirect" title="GPS">GPS</a> map of location, and be used to pay for rides by swiping a credit card. The drivers will have an electronic Driver Information Monitor in which messages can be sent to them informing them of traffic conditions and facilitating retrieving lost objects.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-72">[71]</a> Several taxicab drivers objecting to the cost of the devices (estimated at between $3,000 and $5,000 each)<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-72">[71]</a> staged voluntary strikes on September 5 and 6 and October 22 in 2007.

The Justice Department issued a "Statement of Interest", which was sent to the NY Federal District court, stating that, if the city did not mandate a wheelchair accessible taxi as the "taxi of tomorrow", it would be in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. On November 3–5, 2011, at the TLC's public design expo inviting the public to try out parked prototypes, the Taxis For All Campaign mounted a "Roll-In" protest. Under the eye of news media outside the Flatiron Building on Broadway at Fifth Avenue, wheelchair users tried in vain to use the future cabs.<a href="#cite_note-89">[88]</a> Mayor Bloomberg's sustained initiative to amend the law, so that licensed livery cabs may pick up street hails just as yellow medallion cabs do, requires the Governor's approval; but Governor <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Cuomo" title="Andrew Cuomo">Andrew Cuomo</a> opposes the City's choice of a non-wheelchair-accessible yellow cab. Thus, a compromise plan was announced in December 2011: the next 4,000 new medallions must go to accessible cabs, and the Governor will ratify the Mayor's initiative to let livery cars compete for street hails. A fully electric version of the <a href="/wiki/Nissan_NV200" title="Nissan NV200">Nissan NV200</a> van may be available by 2017.<a href="#cite_note-90">[89]</a> However, to test the concept, Nissan is sponsoring a pilot program with six <a href="/wiki/Nissan_Leaf" title="Nissan Leaf">Nissan Leaf</a> <a href="/wiki/Electric_car" title="Electric car">electric cars</a> and their <a href="/wiki/Charging_station" title="Charging station">charging stations</a>, deployed to study the use of <a href="/wiki/Zero-emissions_vehicle" title="Zero-emissions vehicle">zero-emission</a> electric vehicles as taxis.

They say that a medallion system helps the city to better regulate taxis and enables the city to raise the standards of all taxis.<a href="#cite_note-123">[122]</a> Medallions are sold from the City at infrequent auctions, or by a medallion owner.
