New York is defined by its iconic yellow taxis, as far as the eye can see, draws down the long path of the manhattan.
But a challenge that cannot be for the average rider, is how to ride services such as cab and ride drivers Uber and Lift, who work 12 hours a day, can take a rest brake.
Currently, drivers are forced to hunt for some time running number of parking places to stop somewhere before going in to relieve themselves.
Taxi driver representatives are now insisting on giving special placards that will allow them to stop briefly in those spots that will otherwise be away from the border like the bus lane.
Fernando Meto of New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers said, “Drivers are being tortured due to not being able to use toy -rooms, when they are needed,” said Fernando Meto of Taxi Drivers, who said the campaign Leading and represents 30,000 drivers, most of which work for rides -Helling services.
“We have worked hard to achieve barber shops, restaurants and small businesses to allow taxi drivers to use bathrooms, but within minutes, within minutes, they get a ticket when they come back. And now tickets are being released by automation. “
Local media reports that, in frustration, some drivers have been forced to relieve themselves in addition to their cars, opening to public pilting penalty.
Fernando said, “If they are caught giving relief to themselves next to their car, it is called indecent performance, and at that time you can lose your license.”
“So what we are asking the city is a permit to issue (driver) that when they are using a bathroom, they will put it on their windshield, and they have for 10 minutes what they have Have to come out and come out.
49 -year -old Yellow cab driver Dorji Nangyal said he would welcome the ability to stop without risking a ticket that could erase the entire day’s benefits.
“The police gives you a ticket, you have to stay in the car. If I go to the toilet, I will get a ticket. I have a ticket many times,” Nangyal told his taxi that he was waiting for Manhattan’s Grand Central Fare outside the station.
A spokesman at the Taxi and Limosine Commission (TLC), Jason Kerson said, “Access to the toilet for TLC drivers is fundamental for human working conditions, and an important issue we take seriously.”
“We are constantly looking for ways to expand bathroom access for TLC drivers within our limited public places, in which working with our partners in the Transport Department to identify the spots for the new taxi and the vehicle relief stand For.”
