    I'd go with EcoCab and Prius PHEV-like paint job, if you have a choice
    Maybe a little bit of pale green added to the scheme.
    Since Nissan Leaf Leaf and Prius come in this color, you could use that as a base good luck

    Most of the cabs around here seem to be Prius - a few are actually painted green, but only because that's the colour used by that particular company. One of these years somebody should organise a Prius meet and invite the cabbies.

    +1 for Environs Cab as it is plays on Environmentally friendly and environs, as in the places that cabs are utilized. I like EZ Cab too, as it sounds friendly, but there are connotations that are less than ideal. The logo could help that.

    Thoughts:

    In serious mode, I like Sagebrush's Down to Earth suggestion a lot. Down to Earth Cab[bie] Company has a wonderful ring to it.

    In non-serious mode (but seriously!) "Glide Ride" sounds like a company that makes lube, I would avoid that. :p

    Alternatively "High Brit Transportation", allowing only those with quantifiably stiff upper lips into your cars. Or those on weed. It would really encompass a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds, very egalitarian. :D

    BTW check what is available.. In US you cannot have the business with identical name, at least not in the same state.

    That's it! Blimey! Paint 'em all lime green, and call it the Blimey Cab Company. Hopefully that's just politically incorrect enough that it's funny, without being offensive. :cool:

    If GC's britain is like the London I remember, brits love plays on words; and for lack of a better descriptor, 'smart' names and titles.

    With that in mind: "Clockwork Green"
