New York Wants to Make Taxis Into iPhones
In an age of being connected 24-7 on social sites such as Facebook and Twitter and devices such as the iPhone, it seems NYC wants to turn taxi rides into an online experience. Would it be so terrible for riders to look out the window instead of down at their phone? - The Raleigh Chronicle
LOL they have a very good point. Why bother spending money putting useless stuff into cabs? Or maybe its just the progress and we cant stop it. I’d still rather look out the window.. maybe because I spend too much time in front of a computer…
Limousine Hoax Fools a Few Reporters
A Moscow Times article describing President Dmitry Medvedev’s new armor-plated limousine with caterpillar tracks and “more curtains” than U.S. President Barack Obama’s limo was an April Fool’s joke. - Moscow Times
Niceeee.. Russians need more protection than the American President
Russians are more violent.
Limos infringing on taxis’ turf
ABU DHABI // Limousine drivers are taking advantage of visitors to the capital and breaking hire car regulations by collecting passengers from taxi ranks.
The drivers, from the companies Al Ghazal Transport and National Transport, are only allowed to provide limo services at hotels and from Abu Dhabi International Airport or when ordered through a call centre, said Huda al Kaabi, senior communications officer for TransAD, the emirate’s regulator of transport by hire cars. - The National
I personally think regulations are extremely stupid and only stop progress allowing few greedy people to control things, but that’s just me.
