New taxis anyone?

I got off the bus today and walked into the middle of a live news report from News 12 Brooklyn. There are new taxis that will be launching at Marine Park Terminal in Brooklyn. Brooklyn Borough President, Marty Markowitz says this new initiative will bring 800 jobs to Brooklyn. These taxis accommodate people with disabilities equipped with a ramp and convenient seating space. I had a chance to check them out  for myself, and I was very impressed by its design. There's no set date of its arrival to Brooklyn, but it's definitely a great initiative.

  3. It's nice to know that the handicap is not forgotten. Way to go Borough President Marty Markowitz for launching this new cab and bringing new jobs to Brooklyn and to my favorite reporter Dara K. Fulton :)
