NYC Judge Approves Mobile Apps to Hail Taxis
Strikes down temporary ban
A plan allowing taxi riders to hail yellow cabs with their smartphones got a green light yesterday.
A Manhattan judge knocked down a lawsuit against the "e-hail" program, lifting a temporary hold placed on the plan last month.
Now the Taxi & Limousine Commission can review several apps that would flag down cabs with just the push of a button. Those that are approved could be used across the city.
