Hailing a cab in the BIG Apple isn’t necessarily the easiest task around. Even though you see a surplus of yellow cars racing in and out of traffic, just figuring out which cars are on duty is a task in itself. Technology is taking a nice step forward to help us solve that problem. Chairman of the Taxi and Limousine Commission, David Yassky, has announced some great news for the residents of beautiful New York City. Jump for pics, video & download links.

Chairman Yassky was happy to say this is not speculative. This is real technology being used to benefit the lovely people of our city. Yassky also mentioned this is technology being used in other cities with great feedback providing them with a ton of productive help. Several app companies are already geared up ready to hop on board; Hailo, Uber and GetTaxi just to name a few. For decades, cab riders have had only one traditional way to hail a cab, flag it down on the move! These apps will connect passengers to participating cabbies within one half mile of the rider, which is the apps range of distance. For the drivers, they are loving the fact that they can now find riders along their way opposed to driving completely out of the way for a sale.
