Police would like to hear from a taxi driver and witnesses after a male was injured from falling from a moving taxi on Sunday 4 October.
The male and two female companions had got into the taxi on Courtney Place, opposite Burger King, at around 4.30am. Shortly after 5am the taxi stopped near Caltex petrol station on State Highway 2 Upper Hutt, where the incident occurred.
Wellington's "ol' faithful" taxi-cab company Combined (or Wellington Combined Taxis to give them their full title) have gone through a bit of a transformation in the last 12 months or so.
Our favourite cab company has expanded to Auckland and Christchurch and are doing pretty well in both. But it's not all expansion and increasing profits. Recently the eco-friendly cab company has had to defend itself against statements from the head of the Taxi Federation. Then they had to fend off claims from other taxi companies (Combined in this case) that they were also "green".
How about you try out a Green Cab? Their all-Prius fleet and commitment to planting trees to offset their carbon, along with their "'ethics first business second" mantra sits happily with the dirty lefty hippies of the Wellingtonista.
