A New York City councilman is trying to save the city's taxi industry with an app for yellow cabs that would compete with Uber.

City Council member Ben Kallos admits that traditional taxis "have been successfully disrupted by Uber and other car services." So he's introducing legislation to create a Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) app "to level playing field so people can compete."

Kallos, meanwhile, said he worries about the proliferation of Uber and its competitors. "I think my nightmare would be hopping into a yellow cab in the future where they’ve got a phone for Uber a phone for Lyft a phone for Hailo ... and they’ve literally got a dashboard covered in phones because they want to make sure they’re signed up for every single e-hail app," he said. "My preference would people to have one phone, one interface."
