Above: I believe the Lincoln is doing pick-ups, drop offs, street hails, all of the above without any certification from the Taxi and Limousine Commission. It's just a regular civilian car, but just like all the other car services, he has the right car and it's painted the most common color. Since it's Bed-Stuy, where you can't usually find a yellow cab, I don't mind illegal street hails of 'black cars', but this one is a bit much since he's not certified for any chauffeuring at all. Recently the T&LC said they were cracking down only on car services, (or 'black cars') focusing all their effort on that. So if I were this guy, I'd watch myself.
