      SilverCab DOES NOT operate Skoda Superb taxis. The only variant of taxi they operate other than Toyota Crowns and Nissan Cedrics are the "SilverStar" Mercedes-Benz E220CDIs.

    • yeah. hes correct.. the Skodas are operated by SMART aka the Green coloured taxis. SMART also has the bi-fuel merc cab as mentioned in the newspaper report.

      Silvercab is the one who has the new silver coloured mercedes.
