Not only are Mexico City taxis hot pink and white, now at least some of them are electric…
The first twenty electric Nissans go into service today.
Although the rates are the same as other taxis, there is another difference, these taxis part of the district’s “Servicio de Transporte Eléctricos” which also operates the trolley system, so the electric taxis will only be running the same hours as the trolleys: 5:30 AM to 11:30 PM.
