You really a taxi driver or is that a joke?

You can stand outside of the Port Authority building on 42nd street and choke from the diesel fumes. Not only do they have city busses but a myriad of bus companies that come in from Jersey and Westchester for those who want to use mass transit but the train may not be close by. My wife used to take a private bus from East Rutherford to the Port Authority. She walked a couple of hundred yards to catch the bus and then 12 blocks to her office. It was very convenient for her. Even though the signs are there, I don't know how well they are enforced.
I think that in 2008 the second generation of Bluetech engines will be out with urea injection and that they will be clean enough to be sold in NY. I also think that you can bring in a 2007 as a used car from another state.
I don't think taxifahrer is a taxi driver. He has or had a 240D that is the light yellow color the same as all the taxi cabs in Germany. He was trying to sell it a few months ago.
