Capital Area Project - Identify Transportation  (CAP-IT)
04/22/08

The table below contains identified taxi companies, followed by unidentified taxi companies, all heard around the Capital Area of New York State.  I have posted this page in hopes of receiving some assistance in identifying these taxicabs so that I can post them correctly to the NF2G Scannist Pages.  When sending information to me about this project, please either send email to feedback@nf2g.com or use the Feedback Form.  Please also refer to CAP-IT and use the numbered designators shown in the table to avoid confusion.  Thanks in advance!

Listings in BLACK are confirmed.  Listings in RED are doubtful or uncertain.  Listings in PURPLE are likely but not confirmed.
