In India, like in the rest of the world, traditional cab services are facing competition from ride hailing smartphone apps. But in Mumbai, there鈥檚 one way that the two services do not compete: stepping inside an old school Mumbai taxi is a visual feast. Rachel Lopez, a Mumbai journalist, has been trying to preserve some of these decorations, through her photo series, Taxi Tops.
