Yellow Cab to test out the green Prius
September 11, 2009 4:32 PM | BILL MCKEOWN | THE GAZETTE
Yellow Cab is going green.
The Colorado Springs taxi company this month will put a brightly colored Toyota Prius hybrid into service ferrying passengers around town.
The year-old Prius, painted the familiar yellow but also bedecked with green vinyl graphics announcing it’s something different, will be used for a year to gauge both its suitability for the rough world of day-to-day people hauling, and to gauge passengers’ acceptance of the armadillo-shaped vehicle.
“It’s the wave of the future,” said general manager Fred Hair. “The way we drive and get around are changing.”
Hair said the owners of Yellow Cab Co. of Colorado Springs, four Houston-based brothers, believe Colorado Springs is an environmentally conscious town, and they wanted to make a statement that the company is sensitive to that.
