Nearly a month after the State Legislature passed a bill drastically expanding access to taxi service in New York City, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has yet to signal whether he will sign the measure — providing hope to the city’s larger taxi fleet operators who oppose it.

The fleet owners have stepped up efforts to persuade the governor to veto the legislation, arguing that the measure could jeopardize one of the city’s most vital industries.

David Pollack, executive director of the Committee for Taxi Safety, a group that handles leasing operations for yellow medallions, said taxi drivers continue to send letters and call the governor’s office to oppose a plan that “would devastate 50,000 hard-working taxi drivers by flooding the market with new taxis.”

Michael Woloz, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Taxicab Board of Trade, echoed Mr. Pollack’s fears, adding that these cars would limit yellow taxi service.

“We are currently educating the governor’s office on the many policy, economic, procedural, legal, operational and logistical problems with this bill,” Mr. Woloz said.

The bill would allow the issuance of up to 30,000 permits, for $1,500 apiece, for a new type of livery cab. These cabs, while painted a different color, would have many of the features of yellow taxis, like meters, rate cards and credit card machines. But they would be restricted to picking up street hails in often under-served parts of Manhattan and in the city’s other four boroughs except for airports.

The bill has not yet been submitted to the governor; the Legislature plans
