Flowered Cabs

You know, just yesterday – I found myself thinking: Okay, what’s up with the flowers on some of the cabs? Many yellow cabs now have big colored flowers painted on their hoods and their back trunks. You see them everywhere. I’ve noticed them – and liked them very much – but had no idea why … was it part of a cab union thing? Was it a certain group of cabbies who were driving hybrid cabs? Is it part of a green initiative? But why some cabs and not others? I had no idea. I’ve been seeing them for a while – and they’re kind of cool-looking – careening up and down the avenues – with their fellow regular yellow cabs – a kind of whimsical touch to the grimy reality here. Anyway, I thought to myself, only yesterday: “I should Google ‘flowers on cabs’ just to see what comes up …” But then life got away from me yesterday, as it often does, and I forgot.

How happy am I then, and gratified, to see today’s post on NY Daily Photo.

Ask and ye shall receive. It’s also a much more interesting story than the one I came up with in my mind. I love it!

    Wow. I was in NY a couple weeks ago, and had wondered myself – now I know too.

    I will say that the flowered cabs look pretty cool from 40 stories up….

    That’s so awesome. It’s kind of like “The Gates”.

    It is for a good cause, so I think it’s an awesome idea. My friend who works as a Silverdale florist totally had a great time taking pictures of his cab when he was in NYC.
