An iconic yellow Ambassador taxi parked in front of Howrah junction; India's oldest, largest and busiest train station, and one of the largest in the world.

Here is also another nice shot focussed on the classic taxi in front of Howrah train station published previously.

To me this yellow classic remains the best looking taxi in the world. It was modelled on Britain's 1956 Morris Oxford Series III and manufactured in India until a few years ago I believe. However, there does appear to be a discussion now to restart production with an updated electric model. Fingers crossed :)
