Taxi Fabric

So far, Taxi Fabric has transformed 36 cabs.

Mumbai's black and yellow Premier Padmini cabs are notoriously old (many have been around since the 70s) and decrepit. But while they all look the same on the outside, they're famously colorful on the inside, as local drivers have long used their cabs to differentiate themselves from competitors.

Now, Taxi Fabric, a project that raised $16,000 on Kickstarter last summer, is using the same cab canvas to have local artists and designers showcase their work. Since launching in 2015, the project has transformed 36 taxis into psychedelic explosions of color.

Here are some of our favorites.
