MEXICO Mexico City Down town Mexico City on the north side of the Zocolo sits a line of the world famous green Beatle taxis. All taxis in Mexico City are of this design and being the middle of the day business seems to be a little slow. In the background one can make out the blurs of a bustling City Centre whereas in the foreground are quietly parked a whole line of taxis. Each one almost identical. Painted halfway in traditional Mexican green with their top halves in white. On top of each roof sits a taxi light and in each windscreen a stuck on sign saying libre or available. Although the taxis will more than likely be fairly old their wind mirrors and alloy wheels shine in the afternoon light as the actual insides of the cars are in shadow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mexico City's bustling downtown area. Situated on the north side of the Zocolo, a line of iconic green Beatle taxis peacefully await their next passengers. Despite it being midday, business seems slow for these traditional Mexican taxis. In the background, blurred images depict a vibrant and lively city center, while in the foreground, an orderly row of nearly identical taxis rests quietly. The distinctive design of these taxis is instantly recognizable – painted halfway in traditional Mexican green with white tops. Each taxi proudly displays a taxi light on its roof and a "libre" sign stuck onto its windscreen indicating availability to potential riders. Although age may have taken its toll on these vehicles, their shiny alloy wheels and polished wing mirrors glisten under the afternoon sunlight as they remain parked in shadow. Joe Lasky's photograph beautifully encapsulates urban life and transport in Central America without focusing on any specific company or commercial use. It offers viewers a glimpse into Mexico City's unique taxi culture – where countless stories unfold within each cab as they navigate through this vibrant metropolis.
