- 4 taxi and transportation-related associations
- about 250 taxi companies amounting to
- roughly 250,000 business taxis under their wings
- and even 16,500 private taxis who chose to join brake-down
a welcome initiative to counter this mayhem : bus and subway seem to be arriving at almost double the normal frequency ~
enjoying the belated bus and subway ride, thanks to much-improved iPhone apps
