Council members Ruben Diaz Sr. and Fernando Cabrera want to lower the Taxi and Limousine Commission’s mandatory fines issued to taxi drivers when they refuse to pick up passengers. The bill would lower the minimum fine for refusal from $200 to $100 and the maximum would decrease from $500 to $200.
“For many black New Yorkers, being unable to hail a taxi has become a symbol of the frustration and indignity of prejudice and marginalization within one’s own city,” Johnson testified at a City Council hearing.
