Surely you are joking? Your evidence in the "difference" is a shutterstock video clip and a jpeg? I don't even understand what you are trying to show. I see plenty of taxis in both.
"If you were to teleport a Manhattanite from 2006 to 2016 I think they'd be shocked to see the large number of non-yellow cabs on NYC streets."
They would be shocked? Shocked to see the presence of something that didn't even exist a decade earlier?
What might "astonish" a Manhattanite is the fact that there are there are so many more taxis on the street now than there were is 2006, and this increase is year over year for the last decade. Example in 2014 there 48,580 taxis in 2015 the last year for which there is data there were 63,261 taxis. It's never been easier to get a cab.
