(Reuters) - Uber Technologies Inc said it will list New York City's yellow taxis on its app, a move that could help the ride-hailing giant overcome a driver shortage in its biggest U.S. market.

The city has for years been a battleground between Uber and yellow taxi drivers, who have for long protested against the company's technology on grounds that it disrupted the industry and limited their earnings.
