New York & Philly Taxis on Strike

Here's a round-up about yesterday's stoppage. The strike is about the use of GPS technology in cabs, paying fares by credit card. Hizzoner Michael Bloomberg, the Mayor of Gotham, claims that "consumers" will like it, and the use of GPS has nothing to do with the privacy rights of hacks or the customers who ride in the cabs. NPR, in it's reports I heard yesterday, just focused on the economics and profits; nowt about the potential misuse of these machines. What's next? CCTV cameras?
