A yellow taxi driver sits inside his taxi and reads his newspaper in Kolkata, India, on December 8, 2024. Kolkata says goodbye to its yellow taxis. A court order removes older vehicles. Around 4,500 taxis disappear this year. Another 2,500 will go next year. Rising costs and loan issues make replacing them difficult. This change affects both drivers and commuters.
