Computers in Taxi's
 

Sponsored by Yahoo, now you can hail an "internet cab" from the Luxor Cab Co. Yes hai a cab and a computer, using the output from the lighter for power.

This is a pilot program beginning in San Francisco and it will run for at least the next four months- long enough, they think for folks to get "hooked" and to clamor for the service!

And now some NYC cabs are also getting new Palms with access for FREE! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

It's an experiment again with Yahoo involved! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif


But taxis in general are getting tougher to find at some airports!

"...Sound familiar? Across the nation, airports are facing sizzling increases in airline-passenger traffic, with delays continuing to set records in some cities. But now comes another issue: Are there enough taxis to go around? From New York to Minneapolis, weary fliers are suddenly finding a new meaning for the words "taxi stand," waiting for as much as an hour or more at times, or desperatkely looking for other means to get home or make business meetings. And this at a time when so many fliers are already at their wits' end from too many travel hassles..."
