Why are Taxis in New York City traditionally Yellow?
Answers:
so they are easy to spot if you need to flag one down?
But it started as a marketing idea in the early 1900's by the 'Yellow Cab Company' to make their taxi's more recognizable. It turned out to be a great idea.
Same reason the ones in London are Black.
Morey's right.
Because it's TRADITION.

Well its like this. One day a long long time ago the cabs were white. This hot and sunny day a man took a ride in a cab and was dis-pleased with the service. As he refused to pay the driver the fare owed he whipped out his little friend and peed all over the cab. This man was quite void of the proper hydration levels of H2O. So, his urine was dark yellow, but he had an extremely full bladder and was able to cover the complete exterior of the cab. Upon returning to the base station the driver explained to the cab company owner what happened. The owner loved this new color and painted all his cabs this new pee pee yellow. Later it was called Dick Tracy Yellow. But back to the story, the owner also changed the name of the cab company to Pee Pee Cabs. Well the city did not approve this and he had to change the name to Yellow Cab Co. The End.
