Cab Diversity - What a Rainbow of Colors Out There!

Aha, gotcha! You thought I was going to be blogging on all the different drivers. But no, this blog is all about taxi cab colors. Yellow is taxi cab color. I don't know who decided or when (taxi historian, line 1!). But it's yellow all over the US.

Not here. It's yellow. And black. And red, white, tan, green, mauve, taupe, teal, and on and on and on. DC is a veritable 64 box of crayolas in cab colors.

I like the blue and teal cabs myself. But not the baby blue ones (UCC), that's just a silly color.

Airport Cab?

Saw an odd site this morning. A black cab with the label "Airport Cab" on the side. Ok, but in DC the situation is that any cab can take you TO the airport, but only cabs belonging to a specific company can pick you up FROM an airport. This cab wasn't marked as belonging to that company.

What gives?
