A lawsuit requiring every taxi to be wheelchair accessible

There is a new lawsuit being filed that aims to make every taxi cab in New york city wheelchair accessible. If you believe the advocates of the lawsuit the increase cost will amount to $2,000 per cab ride used by someone in a wheelchair, if you go by New York City's estimate (based on a pilot program) the number is closer to $63,000 per ride. Is this reasonable?
