For more information you can consult with TLC website: http://ci.nyc.ny.us/html/tlc/html/accessible_dispatch_system/accessible_dispatch_system_main.shtml

The other type is like 48k, and gets crappier milage. I have had bad luck so far with my Dodge Grand Caravan, new battery, new map lights, failed inspection because the seatbelt would not bounce back quick enough. They are a crappy car, but what the heck, it is a medallion, and eventually all the medallions will be Hybrid and Handicapped Accessible only, and we will all be in this mess together.
