Our Story
Why Hey Taxi NYC was created
Anyone who drives a yellow cab, a black car, or rideshares for Uber and Lyft in New York City knows the feeling. You finish a long shift, open the mail, and there it is — a TLC summons. The language is confusing, the deadlines are tight, and the consequences are real: fines, points on your TLC license, possible suspension, and lost income while you sort it out.
Hey Taxi NYC was created to fix that experience. We saw too many hard-working drivers losing money because nobody explained the process clearly. We saw fleets bleeding revenue from repeat violations that could have been prevented with the right systems. So we built a company that treats compliance like what it really is: a business problem with a process-driven solution.

- NYC focus only. TLC, OATH, DMV — we live in this world every day.

- Driver-first pricing. Flat fees, quoted upfront. No surprise invoices.
- Fleet expertise. Bulk violation management, driver training, and ongoing compliance programs.
Who we serve
Our clients are the people who keep New York moving. Yellow cab medallion owners. Black car drivers running airport pickups at 4 a.m. Uber and Lyft drivers stacking shifts to support a family. Fleet managers juggling 30, 50, or 200 vehicles. We speak the same language they do, and we respect their time.
The NYC transportation industry challenges we tackle
The for-hire vehicle landscape in New York City is one of the most heavily regulated in the country. Between TLC rules, NYPD enforcement, OATH adjudication, base regulations, and constantly shifting policy, it is genuinely difficult to stay compliant. A single missed hearing date can trigger default judgments, license holds, and snowballing fines. For fleets, repeat violations across drivers can put an entire base at risk.
We exist to absorb that complexity so drivers can focus on driving and fleets can focus on operations. Whether you need help with a single TLC summons, an upcoming OATH hearing, or a long-term compliance program for your fleet, we are here.
Our Promise
We will not waste your time, we will not pretend to be something we are not, and we will always tell you straight. If your case is simple, we will say so. If you need an attorney, we will tell you that too and connect you with one. That is what trust looks like in this business.
