Cocodrilo

Cocodrilo

An iconic nickname for the public transport taxis that roamed Mexico City in the mid-twentieth century, recognized by their green paint and white triangles on the sides that resembled a crocodile's jaws. (These taxis were a staple of the capital's urban landscape from the late 1940s through the 1960s).

My grandfather told me that in his time it was very common to flag down a Cocodrilo to cross the city quickly.
