Goodbye Iconic Yellow Taxi, In Kolkata
A passenger speaks with a taxi driver before riding in an iconic yellow Ambassador taxi in Kolkata, India, on December 13, 2024. The Calcutta High Court orders that 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.
