Having pioneered the use of ambulances as taxis, the Russians are at it again with the taxi tank:

• A company in Russia is using former military vehicles as taxis.
• The vehicles are painted pink to seem less intimidating.
• Since St. Petersburg has various rivers and channels that can only be circumvented through traffic clogged bridges, the amphibious taxi can be timesavers.
• The company’s slogan is “a safer taxi” since passengers won’t have to worry about getting injured in a traffic accident (unless there’s an RPG involved).
