The San Francisco Citizen

San Francisco’s hybrid-only Green Cab Company started up a while back and seems to be doing well. But now, old-school cab companies are getting into the act.

Veterans Cab Company, where former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown worked (until they raised the “gate fees” on him) a long time ago while a student at UC Hastings School of Law , now has Toyota Priuseses.

How about that? In the real world, these things can get about four times better fuel economy when compared to a regular taxi kind of car, such as the Ford Crown Victoria. That all adds up during a ten-hour shift.  

Shown on California Street in the Financial District is a White Motor Company vehicle from the 1930’s. Feel free to call it what you will.

The license plate says “36 LIMO” and the company that owns it, The Ambassador’s Rolls, refers to it thusly:

Why don’t we compromise and call it a coach? Click to expand:

You can see similar vehicles on Going-To-The-Sun Road in Montana at Glacier National Park. Glacier’s red buses have been modified a bit for the new millenium. Long may they roll.
