The General Directorate of Police Traffic has initiated the changing of the color of city taxis from yellow to turquoise, in line with international standards. Afghan Deputy Minister of Interior believes that this change will enhance the safety of citizens. The Department of Traffic reports that there are 67,000 registered taxis and has introduced a new color code for urban and rural taxis. Additionally, taxi owners are required to be biometrically registered and to install GPS in their cars to reduce crimes. This change is expected to address security and criminal issues associated with taxi transportation, it said. (Photo by Samiullah Popal/EPA/EFE)
