Love ’em or detest ’em , New York would n’t be the same without its massive fleet of cab .

It ’ll also expose an electronic map that will supposedly make it easier to track down lost / forget items ( note to tourists , NYers keep things they regain , so do n’t even bother ) . passenger who choose to listen to the mumblings of their number one wood will have the option of turning the arrangement off . Sounds skillful and all , but if it means an increase in fare , I ’d rather ride in silence .
