The City Council was expected to pass a bill of rights for passengers of livery cars today. The NY Post reported that "A placard outlining 11 rules will be installed in the back-seat area of some 40,000 for-hire cars, granting livery passengers similar rights to those already posted in yellow cabs." The rules will prohibit drivers from changing fares, but also allow passengers to be in control of noise/music, climate and cellphone use! Too bad nothing can be done about that cologne scent that permeates most cars. City Councilman Daniel Garodnick noted the importance of the bill, stating "when you get into one of these cars there is absolutely no indication of city regulation in any way and we thought that New Yorkers needed to know that this is regulated by the New York City Taxi Commission and there are rights with every trip."
