Taxi Second Court Decision
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals - the mid-level federal court covering New York - has ruled that the Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) must indeed submit a plan for long-term accessibility to the District Court (lower court) judge, Judge Daniels.
The Court of Appeals simultaneously
sped up the whole appellate briefing and argument schedule to give the court a
complete set of facts and arguments on whether the TLC has duties under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Taxi driving is a business - just like restaurants. As such, it should be subject to the same rules: new restaurants and new cabs should be wheelchair accessible. Governments can help with incentives and laws. (http://www.c3a.org.sg/news/helping-hand-for-disabled-on-the-go) You'd think cabs would want the business of thousands of wheelchair riders - like me.
