Short Description:
With over 1700 taxicabs and still growing, Yellow Cab is the oldest taxi company in the U.S.
Full Details:
Beginning in 1915 by John Hertz, Yellow Cab started with a surplus of used cars from Hertz's dealorship. The Hertz company was actually the first to devise manual windshield wipers for their cabs. Of course, these were eventually replaced with the more effiecient automatic wipes. Yellow Cab was bought by Morris Markin, who also owned Checker Cab, in 1929. Checker later became independent. Yellow Cab has consistently lead the way for the taxi industry. They were also the first company to install seat belts in their back seats.
Yellow Cab participates in numerous charitable organizations around the Chicago area. They have created a summer tennis league for inner city kids through the Chicago Park District, and they sponsor scholarships for drivers and families.
