Some politicians are already saying hail no to the city’s pick for the “Taxi of Tomorrow.”
The city announced Tuesday that it had selected Japanese automaker Nissan to produce the “Taxi of Tomorrow” after submitting a bid based on its NV200 minivan design, as first reported by the Daily News.
But Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, Assemblyman Micah Kellner and Public Advocate Bill DiBlasio already called on city Controller John Liu to investigate the selection process, alleging a possible conflict of interest.
