What you need to know about the upcoming New York medallion auction

http://www.nyc.gov/html/tlc/html/industry/medallion_auction.shtml

That's the official page for official information.

They will be auctioning 200 medallions for wheelchair accessible taxis. These type vans have more maintenance problems than other vehicles Deadline to get your bid packages together and delivered is November 13. Minimum bid will be $850,000 for one medallion . $1,700,000 for 2.

These taxis will be required to respond to wheelchair  customers. There are reasons driver's dislike thrse fares.

More green taxis hit the road and infiltrate downtown daily. T L C enforcement t is ineffective  and the material foundation of medallion values gets shakier 
by the hour but  a sucker is  born every minute.
