Taxi with doors open

A two-tone classic taxi stood parked along a roadside in Mumbai, its front and back doors swung wide open, stretching out onto the sidewalk. The doors seemed to intrude on the path of pedestrians, but no one around appeared to mind. A young boy passed through the open gap without hesitation, weaving through as if it were just another part of the street.

Inside the taxi, the door panels were lined with faded floral vinyl. The elderly driver sat slouched in the front seat, gazing blankly ahead with no apparent urgency. He made no move to close the doors. Maybe he was waiting for a fare. Maybe he was simply taking a break. If asked, he’d probably say it was a bit of both.
