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

A yellow taxi driver sits inside his taxi and waits for passengers at a taxi stand 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. (Photo by Sudipta Das/NurPhoto)
