Coming soon to a taxi near you: a high-tech GPS system that prevents rate scams by creating an invisible “fence” around the five boroughs.

The Taxi & Limousine Commission is requiring that all new taxi technology — including TV screens and credit-card machines — be outfitted with a system called “geofencing” that prevents drivers from overcharging passengers.

The system uses GPS technology to block drivers from charging a more expensive suburban rate for rides within the city.
