Prince George's County will soon be getting more taxis.
The county council voted Tuesday to overturn County Executive Jack Johnson's veto of legislation to increase the number of taxis in the county. The new legislation will add 400 permits to the current 775 and will take effect Oct. 1.
The measure won council approval in July, but was vetoed by Johnson. It was his second veto since he took office in 2002.
Johnson said in a letter to the council last week that he liked the general premise of the measure, but thought it might backfire against prospective taxi drivers who have been waiting for years to get a Prince George's taxicab medallion.
