New York Taxis Will Go Hybrid

Jason Siegel writes "The New York Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) has approved the Clean Air Taxicabs Pilot Program Act, paving way for a hybrid car to be approved for NY taxi service by this fall. Soon, a large portion of New York's yellow cars will also be "green." According to the Coalition Advocating for Smart Transportation (CAST) poll, seven out of ten of the state's citizens support a switch to hybrids." New York might also reduce car pollution by loosening the rules for running a taxi, in order to reduce the need for private cars.

You must be new here, and this time, I'm not kidding. Man, you're like, dense. The conversational 'surfer' talk, implying that they did not understand this fact, was the kidding aspect of my OP. Few people on this earth (at least those on the Internet) would think that NYC was anything but HUGE (not of course compared to Mexico City), AKA was an attempt to jump into a thread in a reasonably polite manner.

You 'sir' need fewer math classes and more time in the Pub.

If you call that kidding, I fear for your children.

Let's put this so you may be able to clearly understand... I have a child you bastard, and I am a responsible adult with a *real* job. Quite frankly, one you'd be happy to have 10 years from now. If you that 'greatly fear' anything you don't understand immediately, you should never step out of your dirty, dank, laundry filled, rotten pizza boxed, dorm room, the real world takes a little more thought.

Care to make any more assumptions about me?

PS -- your "joke" still sucked. Remember, this is slashdot. Stating the obvious is modded "insightful" here. People say stupid shit in earnest. And you gave no reason to suspect you're not a moron. My joke got a rise out of you. That was sweet.
