Brooklyn moped-share start-up Revel rallied outside City Hall Monday demanding the city allow them to roll out a fleet of electric cabs.
The city's Taxi and Limousine Commission, which regulates for-hire vehicles, plans to vote on closing a loophole Tuesday that allows companies applying for a for-hire vehicle license to get around a three-year-old cap on new permits if it's for electric vehicles — and Revel's chief said bureaucrats were deliberately putting up a roadblock against the company.
"Right now, we are being blocked from launching our service here in New York City — I would argue illegally — a service that is only trying to do things: actually provide a new way for drivers here in New York City," said Revel co-founder and chief executive officer Frank Reig at the June 21 demonstration.
