Description
It's the end of the road for Kolkata's beloved yellow taxis. Numbers of the Hindustan Ambassador, which first rolled off the assembly line in the 1950s, are dwindling fast, and a recent court ruling means that those that do remain will be forced off India's roads entirely in the next three years. "The end of these taxi cars also marks our end," Kailash Sahani, who has sat behind the wheel of an Ambassador cab for the past four decades, told AFP. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
