Green Taxis For All Five Boroughs Hit The Streets
By: Polly Kreisman
First came the blue bikes, and now New Yorkers will start to see green cabs on city streets.
The five-borough taxi plan has been rolled out and the first three of the green cabs are on the road.
They are allowed to pick up street hails in Upper Manhattan, and the other four boroughs, except for airports.
The Taxi and Limousine Commission says 1,300 permits have been issued, with a target of 18,000 in three years.
