Prius Taxi

White Prius Taxi's are very common in Italy and look great! Just back, where I saw them frequently in Milan, Bologna and Rome.
Now we know where all the white Pri's are going!!

Very common in Vancouver BC too, and I think NYC is getting them. Very smart!

I rode in one in San Jose about 6 months ago. As mentioned above, it is also very common to see them in Vancouver.

Arlington, VA:

Envirocab (100% hybrid)

enviroCAB ::: Environmentally Sustainable Taxicab Service in Arlington, VA

There's also Red Top and several other cab companies in Arlington which have recently added hybrids to their existing fleets.

Fairfax, VA

I was just behind a Red Top cab that was a Camry Hybrid. It had big green letters across the back reading, "Hybrid Vehicle", or something like that. Very cool. (Also cool--and unusual--that the driver was in the slow lane, driving the speed limit instead of trying to run everyone else off the road.)

Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a new Silver Prius Cab in our own little Nebraska town! They can't have more than 2-3 cars total so this was a great sight!
