[어바웃 뉴욕] 뉴욕 노란 택시 번호판의 몰락…그 돈 빌려준 회사는 어떻게 살아남았나 | 이나연 특파원

At one time, a single front license plate on a New York yellow taxi was worth $1 million—the price of a Manhattan apartment. People believed it was a "safe asset for life," much like a doctor's license, and bought them using their homes as collateral. However, with the arrival of Uber, these license plates became debt rather than assets, and their value plummeted by over 90%. Even more surprising is that the publicly traded company that lent money for those license plates did not go bankrupt; instead, it has survived as a "boat and RV lending" company, which has nothing to do with taxis. We delve into the collapse of this "lifetime asset myth," examining why the second shock of robotaxis has yet to conquer New York, and why this story mirrors the structure of individual taxi licenses in Korea. 📌 About New York Series Korea has hospitals and funeral homes, the U.S. has listed funeral companies...
