Screen or No Screen? Just Enjoy the Cab Ride Re "Considering a Successor for the TVs in Taxicabs" (news article, Feb. 21): Here's my alternative: nothing. Screens use energy. And how many people like a taxi ride as a chance to get away from everything, as I do, and reflect, watch the city go by or learn geography and world politics from drivers? If there must be screens, have them in the "off" position. If you want, you can turn it on. "Off" at the start should apply to anything the Taxi and Limousine Commission installs. Why not a referendum on whether there should be something there, and if so, what? Whatever is there, if something must be, drivers should get part of the profits. They're hurting, with more medallions available, unauthorized cabs being semi-legalized, and tourists who don't tip. Drivers should reorganize and energize their union. But if you work 12 hours a day, six days a week, you're tired and don't feel up to a meeting.
