NEW YORK CITY (Dec. 16, 2013) – The Nissan NV200 taxi is hitting the streets of New York City and beyond. The new taxi has been available at select dealerships in New York City since late October. One of the first to purchase this vehicle, which was designed and constructed specifically with NYC taxi drivers and passengers in mind, was Greek immigrant Demetrios Rizos. He has worked as a New York City taxi driver for 25 years and has been picking up fares driving the Nissan NV200 for about a month now.
