¿What color are the taxis in your city? - 07-22-2008, 09:11 PM

Yeah, because taxis (cabs) differ in terms of color pattern in each city.

So what color are they where you're from?

In Barcelona they're mostly black with yellow doors They got a taxi sign on top and show a green light when they're available and red when occupied.

Do include pics if possible ^^

Normally they're black. Sometimes Taxi's have designs on them, like errr..Irn Bru [fizzy drink] taxi's, multicoloured taxi's, stuff like that.

Couldnt find a big pic of the rainbow taxi </3




Irn bru...yay. One of my fave drinks xD

I'm sure everyone knows the black Cabs. Same in Scotland, if I remember correclty... which brings me to a sad story. They're thinking of replacing the london black cabs with some crappy Mercedes taxi. I think the idiots on top are taking away everything that defines london. It sucks without the old red buses and now these taxis as well

So cabs in Scotland don't follow a specific pattern? They're just black with the taxi sign on the roof?

Here you see some of them wrapped with adverts too, but I've never seen one of the rainbow kind x)

Awww London cabs are so cute! Errr at least they were three years ago.

And WTF?! When did the buses in London stop being red and double-decked...?

@Sly: lol yeah, you do that ^^

Usually white with blue stripes, but there's always the occasional oddball taxi.

Here they are mostly Mercedes (But there are some Skodas and VW, sometimes) either in yellow or black.
Here's a pic of the most common type of taxi you'll find around here:
