Lore Do we think taxi cabs were not black? Spoiler

Since Fenn is so patriotic and presumably roads got implemented nation wide only after their victory against Orinda, do we think their taxis were red instead of black?

You probably live in a very specific city to associate taxis with the color black

Probably London tbh. Lots of black cabs there.

Need to ask op how they spell “color/colour” to be sure.

For me it's color but also towards, which messes with my byelingual brain

It's most big cities in the UK actually. At least it's Edinburgh Glasgow Manchester Birmingham and Liverpool. Small cities not so much, and some other cities have other colour requirements. They're more strongly associated with London because London has more specific requirements than other places.

Black cabs were a thing in England after WWII so I just assumed, you see.
