We recently received a note from Linda Hayes, a travel blogger who was interested in sharing with us her perspective on travel and transportation.  We enjoyed her angle and enthusiasm for ride sharing, particularly pertaining to the virtues of cab sharing to and from airports, that we thought we should share it with the CabCorner [...]

Eric Goldwyn raises a number of good points in this short piece he recently penned for New York magazine. Chiefly among them, is the issue of enforcement and regulation as it pertains to just how encouraging or discouraging this new policy, as proposed by the TLC, will be in helping to move the practice of hailing a [...]

Smartphone apps for hailing cabs
By Alexandra Stevenson

Here’s a scenario familiar to many urban professionals: it’s late, you’re tired and you desperately want to get home. You call a cab company and the operator says a car is on [...]

Tomorrow, CabCorner will be attending a transportation conference at John Jay College on the upper west side of Manhattan.

Or, we can simply set up our own bottom up approach, and in [...]

Not much more must be said. I will let time, space, design and history do the rest of the talking. 2013 is just around the corner and the NYC taxi fleet is heading for a paradigm shift in terms of application and its impact on the fabric of our socially evolving transportation behavior.

Apparently, our neighbors to the north are getting into the swing of things by instituting a city wide pilot aimed at facilitating the art of cab sharing in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
