the dawn of cab sharing in NYC
Though CabCorner is an international enterprise, New York City will always be our home base. So it’s interesting to see how “cab sharing” as a concept is being received by the public in its earliest stages, as executed by the TLC.
The New York Times’s city critic just published a rather humorous look at the whole [...]
a new problem… solved.
The media, much like your average shark, just absolutely loves blood. And I fault neither predator for their preference. Yet it is important to contextualize the reports concerning the first day of the TLC’s new “cab share” program.
The New York Times noted that few people took advantage of the service on its inaugural day. DNA [...]
Let Your Actions speak louder than words
We can argue, debate, rhetorically resist all we want, but at the end of the day “Actions Speak Louder Than Words”. Let’s act!
Instead of protesting the MTA by showing up at these open forums where, you the protester, are at risk to be arrested, why not protest with our collective will? Why not protest with our [...]

Hail to the Daus! (or “They’re off!!!”)
I have a penchant for calling a spade a spade, and a visionary a visionary. And outgoing TLC commissioner Matt Daus is indisputably both, able to “move the earth” and “see into the future.”

Back in 2003, David Yassky took up the campaign to green up the New City Taxi fleet. He proposed presenting legislation that would require a certain percentage of the NYC taxi fleet to use hybrid vehicles by a certain date and for that number to increase over time until the entire fleet had [...]
International Business Machines has a take on the future
I believe it is wise to keep an eye and ear out for what vanguard companies are saying, especially when it comes to matters of the future. IBM has a view of the near future world as being one that will be driven by what we do in urban environments. I tend to agree on [...]
Ridesharing… a study in ubiquity
A friend of mine just exposed me to a new website he recently uncovered. In truth, we’d stumbled on Zimride before, but it’s easy to forget all the players in this sector as it evolves. What began as “cab sharing” has expanded to “ride sharing,” and clearly the public understands the concept and its value.
That’s [...]
we didn’t want your money anyway
An article in The New York Times recently reported that “[v]enture capitalists . . . last year invested the lowest amount in [technology start-ups] since 1997.”
That’s a pretty staggering statistic, though a certainly understandable one, given the economic climate. Fortunately, though, Cabcorner, LLC and CabCorner.com have been able to survive the downturn and reduced venture [...]
What’s the potential size of Cabcorner’s Market?
This is shamelessly directed at those who are interested in knowing the answer to the question of Cabcorner’s market potential. To investors, skeptics and fans alike, the market potential for all things mobile web is impossible to quantify at this time due to the fact that the population for which this technology is going to [...]
