NYC Taxi Drivers Sue over GPS
It’s been two weeks since the strike meant to take a stand against the requirement for GPS (and credit card support, etc.) in NYC cabs. Now, The New York City Taxi Workers’ Alliance, and eight drivers, filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Manhattan.
Here’s the odd part: the plaintiff say the rule is unconstitutional and that GPS “tracking” will give away driving patterns. The Allaince counts those patterns as proprietary.
The new law is to take effect Oct 1. The plaintiffs want to block it and to get payment for those who’ve already installed the devices.
