here in our country Pakistan the color of taxis are yellow. But some taxi drivers have colored them as per their choice. we also call the taxis yellow cap. this is due to old taxis which were black colored, as i think, but the upper had of those taxis was yellow.

We used to have taxis coloured yellow and black, a long time ago. These days, they come in all colours. the only requirement is that their numberplate is coloured yellow with black letters, while a private vehicle has a white numberplate with black letters.

we got all different colors. we got yellow cars, red minivans and cars, white minivans. They are all from different companys. We dont really have a main taxi company here cuz its not really a big city. I mean it is a big city but most of the people in this city are to poor to afford a taxi so they just walk.

In our city, taxis are usually just
regular cars owned by the taxi driver.
They freelance for the taxi company
that gets customers for them.
Then they drive the person where they
want to go.
Many local taxis have a magnetic
sign on the side during business
hours.
They are very comfortable sedan type
cars.
The tourists prefer them to the smaller
traditional taxi cars.

Really? I've never seen a green taxi before, but that's really cool. Haha. Over here in California, I mainly see the yellow ones. But sometimes there are white taxis too. I think the white ones look better than the yellow ones. White's easier on the eyes. Haha.

In my home town we have two separate cab companies, one that is a yellow taxi with a red top (I mean really light yellow, not the dark orange yellow that you see on cabs in New York) and another one that is mostly black with a green front.

I remember when I was a little boy, it was only a few colors.
Light blue with dark blue wordings to depict the company logo and name.
Yellow top with a black body.
White top with a apple green body to match.
And the models of the cabs are always the same... Toyota Crown or Corolla or Corona. Nissan Cedric.
Now a days, the models, make and color are so varied. I kinda lost track of them all already. Let see, off the top of my head there is the common Blue color.
Bright yellow.
The yellow top with a black body is still around.
The white top with red body is a new company.
Then there is the light apple green cab, which is also a new company.
Then there is the silver ones.
Then there are also the white ones, totally white ones.
And the latest one, I think, is the sporty orange.
Make and models range from Hyundai Sonata, Kia, Toyota Corolla or Camry or Wish, Mercedez, Honda Airwave.
Some rarely seen models include the Renault Kangoo, the Toyota Hilux and even the lesser seen Fiat as well.
Oh, there is also the VolksWagon and the China brand (dunno which one) as well.

What mithrarao has pointed out is correct, Dont worry even if you are short sighted, as is the case of mine, i will arrange a private charter flight, to you..hehehe... So no worries about the colors of the taxi.
Have fun, and enjoy peace within.)

There are varieties of colors of taxis here in our place. White and yellow are the most dominant. I seldom ride taxis so I am not sure if there are other colors available. I only ride it when I am in a hurry or I have so many things with me.
