New York City’s ‘Five Borough Taxi’ plan enables the city to sell 6,000 street hail livery permits a year for three years. The new class of FHVs is set to be green in color and permitted to accept street hails north of East 96th street and north of West 110th street in Manhattan and all of the other boroughs excluding the airports.
VeriFone payment systems are available to the new green FHV drivers who are required to have installed a Livery Passenger Enhancement Program (LPEP) approved integrated hardware and software system that includes a credit card acceptance device, a GPS unit, a driver information screen and a passenger information screen enabled with an ADA-compliant payments system for the visually impaired.
VeriFone’s FHV LPEP systems provide credit, debit and prepaid card payment, text messaging, trip data collection and transmission, a Passenger Information Monitor and automatic vehicle location system and location services.
In recent news, VeriFone Systems has unveiled that its PAYware Wynid managed payments solution is powering passenger ticket purchases aboard France’s national railroad operated by SNCF Group.
