Taxi!?

In Manhattan most cars are yellow. Many are black or gray. Some cars have other colors, but very few. Lincoln, Mercury, Buick, Hyundai and Chevrolet. The yellow ones are all Ford. New York yellow taxi-cabs are here and there, they fill the streets, they fly past avenues and they race each other.

There are over 12, 050 taxis in the city. If you watch from a corner and count the cars that pass by, most likely 8/10, 7/10 and very often 10/10 cars will be yellow cabs. Stopping a cab here is called "hailing," all you have to do is put your arm up as if you were the Statue of Liberty, and they will come to you. They are loved by New Yokers because they are magical, but they are also hated because they cause incredible traffic jams.
(I love them, I just take the subway...)
