Over Half Of Kolkata’s Iconic Yellow Taxis To Bid Farewell Soon

Babulal Prasad, a yellow taxi driver, talks with another taxi driver in Kolkata, India, on December 8, 2024. Kolkata says goodbye to its yellow taxis as a court order removes older vehicles. Around 4,500 taxis disappear this year, and another 2,500 will go next year. Rising costs and loan issues make replacing them difficult. This change affects both drivers and commuters.
