A new group ride taxi stand has opened on York Avenue between 70th and 71st Streets. The stand was primarily created to serve those commuters whose transportation routines were disrupted by the discontinuation of X90 service to the Financial District.
The taxi stand is open from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., Monday through Friday. The flat fee fare is $6 for two or more passengers, and commuters may be dropped off anywhere from Pearl St. to the World Financial Center. For a passenger information card, click here.
Council Member Jessica Lappin lauded the launch of this new taxi stand, "Hail to the TLC for working with us to create a creative, no-cost way to help commuters on the east side. In particular, this will provide a great new option for those passengers who are being hurt by the discontinuation of the X90 bus."
Don't forget about the other group taxi stand located on E. 72nd St. and Third Ave. with dropoffs on Park Avenue from 72nd St. to 42nd St.
