NEW YORK—Mayor Bill de Blasio still opposes the Taxi of Tomorrow, despite an appeals court ruling in favor of the plan issued on Tuesday.
Over the next few years, the city will release 2,000 new wheelchair-accessible taxi medallions, and if elected mayor, Bill Thompson wants to provide a better way to pay for them.
With the appeal’s court ruling in favor of New York City on June 6, there will be an influx of 2,000 yellow taxi medallions plus an expected budget windfall.
