ROI I: Taxi

Exteriors: A full yellow or a yellow-black coat of paint interrupted at special sites by cracks peeled off by the unscrupulous road dog. Headlights may or may not work subject to weather. Window panes highly prone to getting stuck due to old age. Front windshield may have long fissures, thanks to stones pelted from the Gates of Heaven.

Interiors: Dull and murky, and reminiscent of the damp apartment building. The backseat carefully torn by the naughty nails of juveniles. Usually odoratous giving you bovine dreams if you accidentally doze off. Within sight will be a decked up fare meter as interiors exhibit.

The Driver: Dark man with grey overalls and a reddish mouth, a roll of tendu leaves sticking out. The occasional turban-walla may be visible. The air fills the scent of a man who’s not had a bath for a year.

Passengers: Of all colours, creed, races, shapes and sizes.
