series on New York City.
in today's video we're going to be discussing
taxi cabs in the city
Keep watching for tips to make your trip
to New York City easier.
Getting a cab in New York City is pretty easy
To hail a cab just stick out your arm above your
head and wave. You know when a cab is
available when the numbers on the roof
of the cab are lit up.
Yellow Medallion cabs are the only one authorized to
pick up passengers on the streets of New York City
Don't take a cab that is not
a yellow cab
especially if this is your first time in
New York City . Look for the Medallion
located on the front hood.
Taxicabs are required to take you to your destination
inside the Metropolitan area. Write down
the ID number from any cab that you
have problems with and report them to
the Taxi and Limousine Commission
the TLC
A cab is a good choice if you plan to
just go for a short distance or
if you're going back to hotel after midnight
App based rideshare companies
like Uber and Lyft also operate in the
New York City area
Happy Travels!
