All of those red taxi's look the same to me, and as a teacher here, I can't always afford the Y1.60 Citroen's. Here is an easy way to tell the Y1.20 cabs from ther Y1.60 cabs:Look for the radio aerial on the roof. The Y1.20 all have the radio on the left or drivers side. The Y1.60 cabs have the aerial in the centre of the car. I've been here 3 years and haven't seen any exceptions to this rule.
