Imagine yourself behind the wheel of a stellar yellow streak, 65 or so hours a week. Playing musical chairs with 14,000 others looking for fares. Circumnavigating a 300 square mile pin ball machine with swift agility, but without compromising comfort, safety, and humility. Encapsulating passengers to engage and uplift towards a paradigm shift. Anthropological fieldwork on cruise control. Full human potential on autopilot.

MORE OPPORTUNITIES

Dear Gil:
"I'm a reporter with RNN TV- an indie station which broadcasts throughout the Northeast. I'm doing a story about the future of NYC taxis and I'd like to interview you for our story. We're taking a look at the new technologies -- the TVs, cab-sharing pilot programs and multi-meter technology -- and I'd like your opinion. Will these "upgrades" affect drivers for the better/worse? What 'taxi charm' is lost with the TVs? Etc. Etc. We'd like to interview you in your taxi. When are you available for an interview? We can come to you -- in fact we'll be in NYC on Wednesday morning."
Thanks,
Elizabeth Wolff
