Before clicking the OP's link, I thought they were going to allow TV for passengers only -- which is nothing new anyway. But.. boy, this is a stupid idea. I understand that congestion sucks, and I've also seen cabbies at the airport or Union Station waiting in staging areas for their turn to pick up newly-arrived passengers, so I can see why they'd want some entertainment.
But TV all the time? Isn't the radio enough?
Sadly, I guess not.
If they want to watch TV while awaiting their next fare I have no problem with that. BUT the TV should be off when the car is in operation. And the cars should be wired so that that happens.
