Verifone Transportation Systems adds new programming, including People.com, to the content available on the interactive mobile information screens within its payment and information system in New York City taxis. 6,500 New York City taxis habe been committed to agreements for in-taxi acceptance of credit cards.

VTS is also providing content from PMbuzz.com source of information and Disney Broadway, which makes Disney classics available. The VTS system features a Passenger Information Monitor with a 10.4-inch touchscreen monitor that features programming from a host of providers, including WABC-TV’s local news, AccuWeather, Reuters Business News and the Zagat Survey.

The VeriFone-based option was installed as part of a mandate from the TLC requiring all taxis to offer credit or debit card acceptance and an electronic passenger map and information screen. The wireless-based credit card transaction system meets payment card industry (PCI) standards and does not store any unencrypted data.
