<p>^ I think we’re talking about pretty different things (the Reuters article is about the cost of purchasing a corporate medallion…I was looking up the cost of purchasing a taxi driving license), but at least now I understand where BerkeleySenior’s numbers came from. Bottom line is that you don’t have to shell out $600K just to drive a NYC cab (the clearest explanation I found was on Wikipedia: [Taxicabs</a> of New York City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission - Wikipedia)%5DTaxicabs”>New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission - Wikipedia))).</p>
<p>Anyway, bit off topic, but thanks again…ah, the things we learn at CC :)</p>
<p>ETA: An example of what I was finding: [New</a> York Special Licenses - Bus, CDL, Taxi, Chauffer, & Other NY Drivers Licenses - DMV.ORG](<a href=“http://www.dmv.org/ny-new-york/special-licenses.php]New”>Special Driver's Licenses in New York | DMV.ORG)</p>
