[nagdu] Did I miss something about a NYC special cab phone number?

[Dailyah Patt]

So, the hotline is for wheelchair accessible taxis and only in Manhattan...but I have the info if anyone here might want it, just let me know.  GREAT idea Mark!  Thanks for getting it to me so fast.  Can I share that with some other dog handler lists?  I bet they'd find it to be super helpful.  I'll message if I get any other awesome suggestions.  Might as well share the knowledge wealth (especially between those of us with different types of dogs...there's a lot of overlap with the kinds of issues and challenges the different kinds of assistance dog teams face.  It's always nice to not have to reinvent the wheel if someone else out there has already got a good system going for a problem and will share what they've learned!)!!

Night,
Dailyah

>I don't know about this specific hotline, but if your friend has an iphone, UBER now has an option to call cabs in addition to there black car service. I always find livery vehicles easier than hailing cabs, because they can't claim they did not see you, they have to stop and pick you up. If they don't you have there name, and medallion number in your phone.

>I only skimmed the message and am not sure if it was this list or the assistance dogs one, but I have a friend headed to NYC over Christmas who could use the info again if this was where I missed it! Please resend or send to me privately if this sounds familiar. Doh! Something about a dedicated line for SD friendly/accessible cabs and I think it was NY - not positive. Fast skim! Thanks!!!
