NEW YORK, N.Y. - The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission may replace Taxi TVs in 50 cabs with iPads or other tablet computers.
The New York Times (http://bit.ly/wwlQ10 ) says the commission is weighing a proposal by Square, a mobile payment company based in San Francisco.
If approved, the pilot program would allow riders to play computer games and swipe a credit card at any point in their trip.
