They serve as a quick and easy means of transportation across Manhattan, a route not amply served by the subways. The downside with having an abundance of cabs is the traffic that results. Most traffic-jams in mid-town are speckled with many of the over 10,000 yellow cabs that service the city. The first taxicab company in New York City was the Electric Carriage and Wagon Company, Which began running 12 electric hansom cabs in July 1897 The company then built the Electrobat electric car, and had up to 100 taxicabs running in total by 1899 in Bu 1907 a fire destroyed 300 of the company's vehicles causing it to shut down. Horsedrawn cabs once again became a primary means of transportation around New York City. The same year, Harry N. Allen imported 65 gasoline-powered cars from France and began the New York Taxicab Company. The cabs were originally painted red and green, but Allen repainted them all yellow to be visible from a distance. By 1908, the New York Taxicab Company was running 700 taxicabs.   By the 1920s, industrialist recognized the potential of the taxicab market. Automobile manufacturers like General Motors and the Ford Motor Company began operating fleets. The most successful manufacturer, however, was the Checkered Cab Manufacturing Company. Founded by Morris Markin, Checker Cabs produced the large yellow and black taxis that became one of the most recognisable symbols of the mid-20th century urban life.
