The past few days in New York have been fulled of rain, disrupting mass transit and leaving many travelers soaked and uncomfortable. Rather than hopping from trains and buses that are crowded, wet, and merely a substitute for your train or bus that isn't running, let Pronto help you get to your destination in a more convenient, comfortable, and hassle-free manner. You can pay with vouchers, debit/credit cards or cash, whichever is more convenient for you. Just because the weather is unpleasant doesn't mean your travel experience has to be.

The Daily News Blog covered a story about a possible new livery bill:

"Nearly 100 taxi drivers from across the city gathered today in City Hall Park to rail against the bill, which would allow livery cabs -- or "black cars" -- to purchase special permits to pick up street fares in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Upper Manhattan, where yellow cabs are often scarce." ~Daily News Blog

"In response to inquiries regarding the status of smartphone apps that offer or appear to offer for-hire transportation services to the general public, the Commission is clarifying the circumstances in which a smartphone app is required to hold a base license, and also to remind licensees of Commission rules that may be pertinent to FHV bases which contract with smartphone app developers and FHV drivers who use these apps."
