Mexico City Cabbies Not Amused With Order to Paint Cars Pink

Every few years Mexico City’s taxis are required to repaint their vehicles, at their own expenses, with the city choosing the mandatory colors. Many cabbies joke that the mayor’s brother must own a paint company in Mexico, but there is not any jokes with this year’s new color announcement.

  1. Jesus give it a break JJ kiss my ass. Yes it is a Mexican thing. Mexican love the wildest colors. Have you even been to barrios or just your gated communities. Ok dumb to me normal to a Mexican. Mexicans have they’re own way of doing things.

  2. It’s no secret that dumb people stretch across the globe. We see them every day and the internet has given us the guarantee of dealing with at lease one every day hahaha However there are also cities in every country with pink taxis, it’s not a Mexican thing at all. In fact the taxi image in the story is in the USA, obviously there isn’t any photos of them in Mexico yet because they have not been painted :D

    1. I “think” the idea is to bring some Mexican culture to a big international city. The color Mexicana Rosa is very popular in Mexico and in places where you can actually paint your house something other than white, this color lines the streets of many neighborhoods. But it is a little “Mary Kay” hahah
