Perhaps these cabs are the most uncomfortable vehicles traveling on four w'heeis. They are extremely narrow, with birely room for two, and the seats slope forward.

Things are not what they once were In the droeky business anyone will tell you. Before the war there were in Mneoow about 20.000 drosky drivers. Now there are only 3160, a figure which looks like more than enough to those who dont appreciate their picturesque qualities.
