Taxis and Commuters Wordwide/your local

Hong Kong

Here are Pictures
Ill be posting more everyday

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.

Here's a pic of Marine Drive i Mumbai(Bombay).In the bottom left you can see Premier taxicabs lined up by the kerb....



These old cars do have character and cabdrivers in India swear by them!!

MirageBistro......Indian cabs for you!!...

The Ambassador taxicab.It is to the indians what the 'Checker' cabs were to the Americans!...




Premier taxicab...only in Mumbai(Bombay).They run on CNG.

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

^ VIEW FROM INSIDE


lot of them have personalized lights and sound systems


the old fashioned meters


the rates

They ride these rickshaws in the Subarbs

not allowed in Metro



new ones? coming out next yr? supposed to be as cheap as current ones



hahaha

Here's an NY cab. Took it last year. (sorry about the fence being in the way).

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.
