Starting this week, a taxi ride in New York City might get a little cheaper. The NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission just announced that they are launching a taxi share program where riders will be able to pay a flat fare to be picked up and dropped off at designated taxi share stops.
The city used GPS data from cabs to determine heavily trafficked routes and is hoping the share will reduce congestion and emissions by lowering the number of vehicles driving during rush hour.
In little bursts here and there, we are inching towards energy conservation. Here in Bangalore, we have the Bus Day in some routes when commuters are being encouraged to leave personal vehicle behind and take the bus. How many of you out there have given it a try? Write in to us if it is a good idea or not.
