Solution
Taxioftomorrow.com launched in early February 2010 and was featured by Wired, the NY Times and on Gothamist.com and a number of other popular NYC blogs.
The venue is intended as a source of insight for the designers, developers, passengers, drivers and owners of the NYC taxi cab. This site's goal is to crowdsource valuable ideas and data to help reinvent one of the most iconic New York City experiences.
This site is an attempt to create public insight and provides a forum to develop the statistics, metrics, facts and opinions to help best influence this pivotal and critical process. We are collecting ethnographic and sociographic data, stories and testimonials. Please join in :-)

The site quickly brought awareness to NYC's plans and has been the center of a heated discussion.
