Goodbye Iconic Yellow Taxi, In Kolkata
An abandoned iconic yellow Ambassador taxi is seen 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. Nearly half of the existing fleet of 7,500 yellow taxis are 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)
