GPS-O-Meter


The Taxi & Limousine Commission issued more than 1,000 tickets in March to livery drivers who illegally picked up passengers off the street - four times as many as the month before.

"We're just not going to tolerate anymore the prevalence of illegal street hails," TLC Chairman David Yassky said at the agency's meeting Thursday, where the numbers were revealed. NY Daily News
This occurs in the same week that Apple is criticized for tailing us with their smart phones. The new digital age says, hey, give these limo drivers a built in GDS-O-Meter and charge them a congestion price rather than have a hundred meter maids hunt them down. When we see city officials prefer the old system with its attending high costs, rather than the simple digital system, what do we think? Corruption.
