The city is asking automakers to come up with designs for a cab for the future.

REPORTER: It would be one that will burn alternative fuels, and will be wheelchair-accessible. Taxi and Limousine Commissioner Matthew Daus.

DAUS: Big on the inside and small on the outside - one that looks good that's durable - people will look at it and they'll say that's great - it really belongs here.

REPORTER: Daus says the TLC is working with auto manufacturers to design and produce a vehicle specially made to be used as a taxi. The TLC plans to send out requests to auto makers next week. The City Council's Transportation Committee is looking into the recommendations made by the TLC and the Design For Public Trust that made suggestions about how to spruce up cabs.
