Boro taxi

Boro taxis (or boro cab) are taxis in New York City that are allowed to pick up passengers (street hails or calls) in outer boroughs (excluding John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport unless arranged in advance) and in Manhattan above East 96th and West 110th Streets. The color of boro taxis is apple green (bright green) in contrast to the traditional yellow taxis in New York City.
==History==
Historically, only "medallion taxicabs", those painted in distinctive yellow, were permitted to pick up passengers in response to a street hail. According to an analysis of trips using GPS by the Taxi and Limousine Commission found that 95% of yellow taxi pick-ups occurred in Manhattan below 96th Street and at JFK and LaGuardia airports. This resulted in significantly lower access to legal taxi rides for people in outer boroughs. As a result, the ''Five Borough Taxi Plan'' was started with the ''Street Hail Livery'' program to allow "boro taxis" to pick up street-hail passengers to fill in the gap. Then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the plan in his State of the City address in January 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/tlc/html/passenger/shl_passenger_background.shtml )
In December 2011, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the state law that authorized the Five Borough Taxi Plan which included 18,000 new boro taxi permits and the sales of 2,000 new yellow medallions, all of which will be wheelchair accessible only. Although the law would make street hail of livery cabs legal, it was not welcomed by some of the livery cab drivers and politicians due to the fear that the cost would be too expensive as seen in the yellow taxi medallions which are sold through auctions with an average of $700,000 each. The Taxi and Limousine Commission clarified that the boro taxi permit would cost $1,500 and it would be good for three years.
