Brooklyn's "Dial-a-Cab" plan
Posted by Dominic Basulto
Since finding a yellow cab in Brooklyn can be tricky, the borough's leaders are working on a new plan that would enable residents and tourists to hail a cab or private car service using a cell phone and simple GPS technology: "You make a call, and a taxi knows exactly where to pick you up." The initial plan calls for London-based Zingo to "import" its GPS system to well-recognized tourist locations in Brooklyn; from there, the system could be rolled out borough-wide.
