NYC cabs are cars only because that's the environment they operate in. Think of what a cab would look like in a busy carfree city. Disneyland makes an okay example for North Americans. There's no need to go to the considerable expense of an entire passenger car that's built for worst case freeway scenarios in a carfree city core. Imagine a cab where crumple zones and a three-digit top speed are useless.
