new TLC accessible-taxi symbol with green nyc logo


Last week, the TLC revealed its new accessible taxi symbol (shown above with new "green" taxi symbol), which appears to have been designed without any input from wheelchair users. The reviews so far (from e-mails to the TFAC group):

Edith Prentiss
Edith Prentiss: "As of February 1, the TLC changed the wheelchair symbol. This is a total joke. I think it looks like a Cirque du Soleil hoop dancer. [Council Member] John Liu was far from impressed."

Jean Ryan
Jean Ryan: "I could never see that symbol in a million years unless I was already getting into the cab. It's too small. But from a distance? Get real. What's wrong with something bigger and with using the standard universal wheelchair symbol? Why get fancy? (Because they haven't got the cars and medallions or the will to get more, so they have to play with the little symbols!)"

Your opinion?
