What happened to Bangalore while I was away? Taxis! Black and yellow taxis with a fashionable red stripe. I’ve never seen one of these before. Where did these come from?

  Those taxies have always been around. They just weren’t very visible, especially now, where the radio taxies have completely taken over their market.
  
  The red stripe? No fashion, there. It indicates that the car is by law due for scrapping within this financial year. Notice that all the vehicles you see there are Premier Padminis and Ambassadors Mark II.
