Cabbies Say Cost to Move to Wheelchair-Accessible Cars Is Too High

> They say they want the city to cough up more cash to help meet the repeatedly blown 50%-of-the-fleet mandate from a decade-old lawsuit settlement.

What was the court's rationale for this 50% figure? Surely 50% of ridership is not wheelchair-bound. If there was a mechanism to request and dispatch wheelchair-accessible cars to the small segment of riders who need it, demand could be filled with much less than 50% of cars so equipped.

Right a city bus can typically accommodate 2 wheel chairs and like 50-100 other passengers

Sounds like if the medallion owners can't provide the required services then the medallions should be reclaimed and auctioned to providers that can.

Now do the same for uber.
