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's 2008 order states that no commercial vehicle older than 15 years can operate in the city. This order affects the iconic yellow taxis, a long-standing symbol of Kolkata, as the deadline to phase out commercial vehicles older than 15 years approaches. Nearly half of the existing fleet of 7,500 yellow taxis is 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)
