The Design Trust's exhibit of taxi prototypes at the 2007 NY International Auto Show received an overwhelmingly positive response from the public and from local, national and international press. The exhibit demonstrated unequivocally that the yellow cab can and should stand for our city's commitment to sustainability, accessibility and good design. As a direct result of this exhibit, the Design Trust is now working with the City of New York and the automotive industry to usher in a new era for the yellow cab.
