Goodbye Iconic Yellow Taxi, In Kolkata
Supporters of the Indian National Congress take part in a protest against the Calcutta High Court's 2008 order that no commercial vehicle older than 15 years can operate in the city, outside Howrah Railway station taxi parking on the outskirts of Kolkata, India, on December 13, 2024. Kolkata's iconic yellow taxis, a long-standing symbol of the city, are set to see a dramatic decline as the deadline to phase out commercial vehicles older than 15 years approaches. With nearly half of the existing fleet of 7,500 yellow taxis likely to be taken off the roads by the end of this year, owners voice their concerns, urging for more flexibility in transport regulations to preserve the remaining taxis (Photo by Rupak De Chowdhuri/NurPhoto).
