WPCNR TAXI STAND. July 22, 2008: Melissa Lopez, spokesperson for the Mayor's Office, said the Taxi Advisory Committee and the Mayor's Office that their report on the White Plains "taxi world" were "working diligently to get this out as soon as possible."I can tell you that we are working diligently to get this out as soon as possible.
The Chaos Hour (6 to 7 PM) at the Little Station of Horrors.
WPCNR asked if the police did not have enough manpower to spot and ticket gypsy cabs without medallions. Ms. Lopez reports, "the police do have enough manpower to enforce the gypsy cabs and when observed, do so. The City of White Plains Public Safety Department no longer has a person assigned to the train station for that sole purpose which is probably what was being referred to at the Saturday press event. When someone is found operating in the city without a medallion, they are arrested and booked, their cab is towed and the max fine is $250 plus the tow fee."
