India Taxi
The history of the Indian taxi has begun since the early twentieth century, when India was governed by the British rule. The Indian taxis are very cheap, friendly, and are available direct from a Taxi Company or on the street. Most taxis do not have a fare-meter installed; the fare is decided by bargaining between the driver and the customer.
Almost all taxicabs in India are Premier Padmini or Hindustan Ambassador cars which were brought in to the country from the British. Most of the Indian taxis are painted with a yellow-black livery, and also paint many signs and slogans such as God is Great across the back and sides of the cars. Most of the cabs do not have any air conditioning system.
In India, who need to acquire taxi driving license must be at least 18 years old. An Applicant must submit a request to the transport Department of India and complete a Colors Blindness Test, Learner Test and Driving Test on Vehicle before able to receive Light Motor Vehicle License (LMV), which is the license of the taxi driver.
