title : You need a taxi?
Recently PengPeng got a part-time job as a taxi driver.

If you think PengPeng's taxi is those classic yellow cab

Then you are yet another person who isnt creative enough.

In this 21st century, taxis now come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes. Before we talk about that, let us take a look at the history of taxis.

-----

Our very 1st taxi

"BLUFF!"

NO!

PengPeng NO bluff you. This is indeed our very 1st taxi used in 1834, which was called the Hansom Cab. Only Handsome people can ride on it one.

As the time changes, with the discovery of battery-powered, and petrol, our taxis also come to a major change.

From

Horse-powered taxi

taxi gradually become

like this

and then become

to what we often see on the street.

-----

However, in recent times, taxi all around the world are of differnt sizes and shapes, diffrent versions and different colours.

In Singapore, we got

Mercedes-Benz E-Class White Limo Cab

Class,isnt it?

NOT because Singaporean are class, but because they wanna show people they are class. That is why our taxi also must be CLASS!

-----

In Malaysia, they got their own

Patriotic Taxi

Even their taxi is painted with their own national flag. Who says Malaysian arent loyal to their own country?

-----

Whereas in Indonesia, they got

Toyota Limo NCP93 Blue Cab

Dont pray pray hor!

This model is the LATEST edition cab in Indonesia. So DONT think Indonesia is a poor country with lao ya (poorly designed) taxi.

Because Indonesia spent MOST of their money to buy and collect LATEST EDITION version cabs.

-----

In India, their cabs are MORE special because they got

Hindustan Ambassador Yellow-Black Taxi

Although the cabs' design are NOT as pretty as the others, moreover MOST of their cabs have NO air-con...

"WHAT?! NO AIR-CON?!"

But...

Their taxi drivers are VERY friendly one, and their cab fare is also VERY cheap one. So no worry!

This is because India government dont invest in their cabs, but more on their taxi drivers. That is why India can produce alot of talented taxi drivers, I mean, talented people.

-----

In Mexico, they got their

Nissan Tsuru Cab

In Mexico, it is COMMON to see heavily-customized taxis riding on the streets. Sometimes, you CANT even differntiate whether you are riding on a taxi or a racing car.

Now, we do know why Mexico can produced alot of talented racers.

Maybe we should follow Mexico too, so that next year Singapore can have her very 1st F1 racer champion.

-----

In the Ang Mo (Western) London, they got

Hackney Carriage Cab

As we always say, Ang Mo always got alot of werid ideas. Even their taxi also reflect that way.

Who says taxi needs to be always yellow?

Who says taxi needs to be always in one dull colour?

London has prove to us that even taxi can be also in pink, with lots of "Vanity Fair" magazines pasting on it.

Perhaps you can also ask the taxi company to paste your face on the cab, provided you can offer lots of money, in case no one will ever sit in their cabs (with your face on it) anymore...

-----

We had now seen examples of different cabs in different countries. But MOST of them are in 4 wheels, how abt the 3 wheels, like...

The Egg Taxi

or

The Bicycle Taxi with a Chio Bu picture

Suitable for you and your girlfriend, wife, mistress, but definetly NOT for the 3 of them together.

-----

But what if you are going out with your girlfirend, her parents, her grandparents, her siblings, like that how?

Fret NOT!

Cause we have

Checkers Limousine Taxi Cab!

-----

After showing you so many taxis, how about showing you Pengpeng's NEW taxi. This taxi is the MOST powderful one.

WHY?

Although PengPeng's cab has NO air-con, but PengPeng do NOT need to drive the cab, and yet people are willing to pay PengPeng.
