Longtime enemy of the taxi industry, Uber has struck a deal with the iconic yellow taxi’s in New York

Uber users will experience a very different trip this spring, after the ride-hailing giant struck a deal with the iconic yellow NYC cabs.

A new agreement will allow the yellow taxi’s to feature within the Uber app, and users will be able to book the iconic cab directly from their mobile.

It’s welcomed news for the taxi sector and comes at a time when ride sharing technology continues to expand across the United States.

Under the new deal, roughly 14,000 taxis will be able to receive trip requests from Uber customers, and those taking the trip will pay for the fare directly within the app.

Customers will still be able to book private cars.

The feature is set to go into effect later this spring.
