Green Cabs NYC – Official Borough Taxis of New York City
Welcome to GreenCabs.taxi, your trusted information platform for New York City’s Green Cabs, also known as Borough Cabs or Boro Taxis. Green Cabs were introduced to improve taxi availability in New York’s neighborhoods and today play a vital role in everyday mobility across the boroughs.
If you are traveling outside Manhattan’s Central Business District, Green Cabs offer a licensed, regulated, and reliable taxi service—designed for local trips, commuting, nightlife, shopping, and airport transfers by pre-booking.
What Are Green Cabs?
Green Cabs are officially licensed taxis regulated by the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission. They were created to ensure fair and consistent taxi coverage in areas traditionally underserved by Yellow Cabs.
Unlike Yellow Cabs, Green Cabs specialize in borough-based service, providing legal street hails and neighborhood-focused transportation throughout most of New York City.
Where Green Cabs Operate
Green Cabs are authorized to pick up street hails in:
-
Brooklyn
-
Queens
-
The Bronx
-
Staten Island
-
Upper Manhattan (above East 96th Street and West 110th Street)
They may not accept street hails in Midtown or Downtown Manhattan. However, Green Cabs are permitted to complete pre-arranged rides citywide, including airport trips.
This clear service distinction makes Green Cabs the perfect complement to Yellow Cabs and an essential part of New York’s taxi ecosystem.
A Neighborhood-First Taxi Service
Green Cabs are built around local mobility. Their advantages include:
-
Faster availability in residential neighborhoods
-
Drivers with in-depth local knowledge
-
Reliable late-night and off-peak service
-
Metered fares with transparent pricing
-
Cashless and card payment options
Whether you are a resident running daily errands or a visitor exploring New York beyond Manhattan, Green Cabs offer a dependable way to get around.
Airport Transfers by Green Cab
Green Cabs provide pre-booked transportation to and from New York’s major airports, including JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark Liberty. While they cannot pick up street hails at airports, scheduled rides and drop-offs are fully permitted.
For travelers staying in the boroughs, Green Cabs are a practical and regulated airport transfer solution.
Green Cabs vs Yellow Cabs
Green Cabs and Yellow Cabs serve different but complementary roles:
-
Green Cabs focus on boroughs and neighborhood travel
-
Yellow Cabs dominate Manhattan’s core and airport pickups
Together, they form a comprehensive taxi network that keeps New York moving—street by street, borough by borough.
