496 Uber cars seized by NYC taxi police amid crackdown

“Hundreds of Uber cars were taken off the streets this spring as part of a larger city crackdown on illegal activity by black and livery cars, new data reveals.  The Taxi and Limousine Commission seized 496 cars currently affiliated with Uber’s bases between April 29 and June 15 for picking up illegal street hails, records show.  Black and livery car drivers are only allowed to do pre-arranged trips, whether it is through a smartphone app or a base dispatch.  Many of the Uber drivers who had their cars seized were doing illegal pickups at JFK Airport. The New York Taxiworkers Alliance said business has worsened for them because there is no cap on the number of Uber drivers.”
