what do psychic cabbies see?

Everything.

Maybe he's the only character who has no first person narration segment?

He ties it all together.

how many characters are you aiming for then?

Dunno. One per writer would be an easy way to start it off.

However, the fact that he is psychic seems pivotal.

Definately.

Exactly. He's always there when they need him, but no one is quite sure what his motives are...

the second.

if he needs a name?

he was sick of it before. All that has changed for him is the venue.

we could also change some details later if it suits how the story winds up working out.

True, there is nothing indicating gender thus far.
