Big Yellow Taxi - Not

 We found ourselves behind this vehicle in a drive-thru line.



As we got closer, I noticed something. It was a Yellow Cab!


Yet not yellow. How long has this been going on? Am I this far behind the times?


Not only that, it had this joke on the back. Do all Yellow Cabs that aren't yellow now have jokes on the back? It WAS nice to see that the Ubers have not pushed the cabs out of existance.

How strange! Who would have guessed?

I've never seen a cab like that. I think the cab companies are having a hard time now that Uber and Lyft are so popular.

Well isn't that interesting. Maybe this would explain why I haven't seen a cab around in a long time.

I don't think we even have yellow cabs here (the company). I've only seen American Cab...no joke.

Interesting to see a yellow cab that is not yellow. If you were not close behind to notice the word yellow, you wouldn't know that it is a yellow taxi. I think it is a good idea to have jokes on the back of these taxis.

If I need a taxi, Yellow Cab is who I call. Ubers just don't seem safe to me! But I've never seen a non-yellow Yellow Cab. Times must be changing, indeed. Thanks for filling me in, Ginny! ~Andrea xoxoxo

Haha....love the joke.

of course i did research, looked at this website, and it is yellow cab of charlottsville, not The Yellow Cab and it does have yellow colored cabs, and all yellow cabs in NY are painted yellow whether they are yellow cabs or not because its the law.. there is more brahahah. this is the best looking one i have ever seen and what a great idea to put jokes on it... we have 3 locals and 2 of them look like junk cars and i would not ride in them, the 3rd one is Bruce Taxi and they are white and look like old recycled cop cars

IDEA!!!!

Perhaps having YELLOW cabs, was 'hurting' some people's feelings???

Ya' know.... Like 'the little Indian lady' was removed from Land O'Lakes butter...

And the UNCLE was removed from Uncle Ben's Rice...

And The Atlanta Braves baseball team fans are not *supposed* to use the "Tomahawk Chop" to cheer on their team.

And the Washington RedSkins football team, is just the Washington Football Team now.

And on and on and on and on and on....

In the *Woke* Country of ours!!!

I haven't seen a taxi in our area in ages..I guess Uber and Lyft have taken over..
Memories of being and working in NYC and seeing a gazillion yellow cabs up and down the streets was really fascinating to me. Everybody takes them or rides buses to get anywhere.

Most interesting . I do like the little joke.

Mari said...

I Like the joke! We don't have taxi's around here, so I don't know if the yellow cabs are still yellow.

DeniseinVA said...

That’s interesting and never would have guessed it was a yellow cab. I aM glad to see the company is still around.

I haven't seen a taxi in a long time! It's nice to see a little humor on the back of one!
