New York City is famous for its yellow taxis. Until recently these taxis have been sedans, but now the city government has chosen a van as the “Taxi of Tomorrow.” The Nissan NV200 taxi will still be yellow, but it will be more comfortable: passengers will have more leg room, and they will be able to look at the city above them through the roof. They will also be able to recharge their cell phones in the car. The drivers will have more comfortable seats, too. Some people don’t like the van because they think it’s ugly, but most passengers are probably happy with the greater comfort. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
