The citizens of New York City will have new taxi cabs to choose from with the recent unveiling of Ford Transit Connect Taxis.

Already a presence in Chicago, Tampa, Florida, and some areas in California, Transit Connect Taxis have been approved by the New York Taxi and Limousine Commission as well as by governing agencies in Boston and Philadelphia.

"Taxi operators are realizing the Transit Connect Taxi is a great vehicle and there's a good reason – they helped us develop it," said Len Deluca, director at Ford Commercial Trucks. "During product development, we visited cities across the U.S. speaking with taxi owners, operators, drivers and city officials on the key product attributes they wanted in a taxi."

The taxi is also environmentally friendly as its engine preparation package converts compressed natural gas and liquefied propane gas.

Although some individuals prefer to use taxis and public transportation to get around, for others, owning a car is unavoidable. While maintenance and insurance can drive up the cost of vehicle ownership, auto refinancing can be a beneficial way for car owners to save money on car payments.
