NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission

This week, Commissioner Valdivia visited Lahori Chilli, a popular Pakistani eatery in Brooklyn that is a go-to for many drivers from the Pakistani community. Thank you to Ziggy, a 30-year veteran in the industry, and the other drivers, base owners, and vehicle owners who took time to share their experiences with us. We look forward to continuing the conversation on licensing processes, driver pay, summonses and more.

“Many World Cup visitors will want to experience a ride in an iconic New York City taxicab, and we encourage that when hopping around within the city. Our taxi and for-hire vehicle drivers are safe, professional and among the city’s most knowledgeable ambassadors. TLC Police and their enforcement partners will be prominent at the airports and other high-traffic locations to help ensure that trips are going to TLC drivers and not unlicensed hustlers. Anyone offering visitors a ride, attempting to negotiate a price or refusing to engage the meter is engaging in illegal conduct and anyone who experiences overcharging or illegal conduct should report it through 311.” —Commissioner Midori Valdiva
