Hailing A Cab In NYC With Amos Tamam


If you’ve ever been to NYC you might think for a moment that the taxicab is the state bird, like the Subaru is to the state of Vermont.  Amos Tamam is giving this bird new 'wings’!

Amos Tamam is responsible for your now having the option of paying for your cab fare with a credit card.  No more digging deep in your pockets or wallet for dollar bills and quarters while trying to exit the vehicle quickly.  This is a two-fold success for both you and the cab driver.  The driver has less money on him or her, thereby reducing the risk of robbery, and you don’t have the contents of your wallet spilling out all over the backseat while rushing to get wherever it is you’re going – the theatre, a restaurant, endless possibilities in NYC.

Amos Tamam trained as an electrical engineer at Tel Aviv University.  Upon arriving in NYC back in the 1980’s, he began servicing taxicabs in a fleet garage.  Today, he is the CEO of Verifone Transportation Systems, Inc. responsible for making your taxicab journey more of a sightseeing opportunity and less of a chaotic exchange of monies.
