April 22, 2004 – Roll-In Demonstration at Penn Station’s Taxi Stand

In front of Manhattan’s Penn Station, a man in a motorized wheelchair with a red base is on the sidewalk and parked in front of an open door of a small yellow cab car. Behind the motorized-wheelchaired man is a woman in a blue denim, long-sleeved shirt and using a manual wheelchair while in front of the motorized-wheelchaired man is the cab driver looking at the open car door.

On the sidewalk in front of Manhattan’s Penn Station, five people in wheelchairs line up for their so-called “chance” at a taxi. The woman in front of the line, in a motorized wheelchair and wearing a hat and sunglasses, holds a sign reading “TAXI!”, while two other people in wheelchairs behind the woman holds signs with letters too small to read from this picture view.

With yellow taxi cabs parked along the streets in front of Manhattan’s Penn Station, the sidewalk holds the taxi waiting stand with a group of several people in wheelchairs lined up for their so-called “chance” at a taxi.

A group of people in wheelchairs, as well as some people who are seen standing, are gathered in a circle outside on the sidewalks in front of Penn Station.
