Taxi Killer A new study from MIT finds that 3,000 four-passenger ride-sharing cars, like Uber and Lyft, would be enough to meet 98 precent of the demand in NYC for passengers.

Yes, you'd have to wait a few more minutes—2.7 to be exact—to get a ride, but the study said drivers would make more money. There are 14,000 taxis on the road in NYC today—meaning 11,000 people would need to find a new line of work.
