It’s official. Taxi TVs are no more. The Daily News reports that the Taxi and Limousine Commission voted unanimously to remove the screens in favor of a pilot payment system that will use tablets or smartphones. As 6sqft reported earlier this week, “officials have been ‘flooded’ for years with complaints about the TVs and they’ve also been a big reason that riders opting for Ubers as an alternative to the yellow cab, the agency admits.” But a previous Wall Street Journal poll found that, despite this widespread frustration, only 29% of taxi riders actually turned the television screens off. And now that they’ll soon be a thing of the past, we want to know what camp 6sqft readers fell into.
