In raleigh if you want a taxi you hafta call and wait an hour for them to show up. Most taxis are crown vics or vans or regular looking cars. We do have alot of mercedes taxis for some reason.

In India we have two models, the Hindustan Ambassador and the premier padmini, both long past their 'sell-by' date that are used as taxis.I guess they're cheaper to maintain than the new models of cars.Almost all taxis in India run on CNG.

Taxis are painted yellow and black in almost all cities except Calcutta where they're all yellow.

Thats mostly just coincidence

the gallardo is not a taxi but the old classic looking black car with yellow roof trimmings is a taxi(one of the few types) they have standard fare

and if u look further down the Blue car parked on the side is a Cool Cab wich came around 5+ yrs ago. They have AC and are more expensive.

Many new ones have come though

more to come later i guess hopefully

All the taxis in Shanghai are Volkswagen Santanas, most of which are equipped with LCD TV:s in the front seat as well as the back seat.

Toronto taxis do not have uniform colours and models, the most comon types are Chevy Impala, Chrylser Intrepid, Ford Taurus and Toyota Camry. (and sometimes Dodge Caravan)

Taxis in Beijing used to have a mix of diferent models, but 2 years ago they replaced them with Hyundai Elantras and standardized the colour.

Looks really ugly IMO.
