Here in my city they're white with a blue stripe on the side, by the doors. In other cities of Spain colors are different though. In Madrid for example, they're white but the stripe is red. And in Barcelona, cabs are all painted black and yellow....really horrible! lol. So which color are taxis in your city?

Well here in Stirling, Scotland where I live the taxis all used to be whatever colour they wanted until a few years ago and now they are all white! There are many different makes and models but they all have licensing plates, operator no and are white! xxx

No sweety - they are just ordinary cars or mpv's! I know what you mean about the cabs in London - they take forever to get anywhere! We are a very small city so taxi fares are not too high! Having said that I very rarely use them! xxx

There are three colors of taxi around here, depending on the locations. On Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the taxis are red in color. In New Territories, the taxis are green (forest green) in color and on the outlying islands, the taxis are blue in color. I think I love the red ones the best, they are really eye-catching!

Red taxis...interesting...how that has to make streets really colorful, specially if the red they use is dark..

Well I live in London as you know, so we have those lovely black cabs! Famous everywere in the world:-)) I love them!! We do have some private hire companies though, that use any type of private car, and charge the earth, so are usually best avoided! And I like the yellow and black Barcelona taxis - they look like litle bees or wasps - LOL!

The classic black London cab is a truly remarkable vehicle, with a very small turning circle, two additional fold down seats in the back, a bulkhead between passengers and drivers and known for its ruggedness and reliability. all the best urban

I reckon that yellow is the most common color among cabs...it's curious that almost none are yellow here.

I am from Guangzhou, China. Here the taxi colors are red, green and yellow. They belong to different taxi companies. So you can recognize them by the color.

i don't think there are yellow cabs in spain, as weird as that sounds...completely yellow i mean. Maybe in some village, but definitely not in any main city of the country.

We have two types, one is the typical yellow cabs which I think are in majority of cities, but then we have a black cab company as well. They are solid black other than their white company name on the sides. They also come in a variety of models, including station wagons. These are odd to me and strange looking.

Well thing is that color here doesn't change depending on the company. All companies must respect the official city colors, so if the city says cabs must be white, all must be white no matter the company they work for.

Here in our locality (Davao City, Philippines) there are two major taxi cab colors, the white and the yellow ones. They are either with or without aircon. Around 95% of the taxi cabs are painted white and soon will be the color to be adopted by all taxi cabs.

nowadays i think all cabs here are fully equipped with a c and all those things. Anyway our climate is warm and stable so it's not such a big deal.

In my city they are pretty much any possible colour that you would normally see on a car. There is only one cab company that specifically paints their cars white. All the other companies just have regular coloured cars. You can only tell they are taxis because of the light on the top of the car!

Most of the taxi cabs in my city are colored white and yellow, or a combination of both.. In that way, one can easily see if a taxi's coming since it's color-coded.:-)

here we have white colored cabs. well they are mosty and generally white. only one cab company is colored red with yellow and a few (3 i think) has yellow and green colors. the red and green cabs are more preferred because they are handled by big cab company and they have courteous and friendly drivers. sometimes it worrisome to ride an unfriendly cab driver and he'd take you away from where you're suppose to go and have you pay for huge fares.

Here in my city though it is not the same as those big cities in our country but this is the only city is too advance when it comes to vehicle such as for taxis and others. in here we have to different kinds of taxis one is purely white and each of them differs to its own designs and stickers being put in the body and the other is the yellow colored body with some boxes of green or white stripes around. my city has the most expensive taxis among all other cities in the country because they use TOYOTA ALTIS for the purely white one as their taxis, also the NISSAN SENTRA for the yellow ones. we have also another kind of taxi, the new one here is the TOYOTA AVANZA and the SHUTTLE. that is why when some of the actors and actresses came here in the city, they got amazed when they saw those cars being used for taxis, they even took a picture of it because as what they say, those Toyotas used for taxis are so in demand in their city and here (in my city) you just use it for taxi.
