Aug 18, 2015, 00:39 IST

"Pickups for the iconic taxis that long ruled Manhattan streets plummeted 10% to 77 million in the first six months of 2015 - down from 85.5 million the year before, a Daily News analysis of trip data showed."

"The taxis collected $981 million through June of this year, a 7% drop compared with the $1.06 billion raked in over the same period last year.

In real numbers, each cab brought in 9% less on average due to an increased number of taxi medallions and stiffer competition."
