New York City’s taxi drivers are getting schooled on personal pronouns.

City taxi regulators are requesting that licensed hacks ask passengers whether they identify as he, she, they — or ze, according to an “inclusive language tips” email blasted out to drivers Wednesday morning.

“Using someone’s preferred pronoun is a simple way to show respect,” read the email, which was signed by the Taxi and Limousine Commission’s Office of Inclusion.

If you are talking directly to someone why would you use anything other than “you”?

Particularly if there is only one passenger. Why worry about third person pronouns if there are only two of you?

I prefer “Your Excellency”, but will answer to “Hey you!”

Lyft seems to let you select your pronouns in the app.

Taxi driver: (picking up a passenger) Should I call you he, she, it or ze?

Passenger: 'Don't you know me? I'm Ms. Transwomen Universe! How dare you? Call me Xe, my preferred pronoun.'

Taxi driver: (looking at the ugly beauty winner) 'Ms Transwomen Universe winner? What planet? I know it wasn't Earth!'

I'll be here all week...😋

Good idea, if you can’t swear off the subway.
