The city's first 15, introduced in 2005, are moving off the road after nearing the city's taxi retirement age. The Ford Escapes have demonstrated their durability and cost-effectiveness.
San Francisco's first 15 hybrid taxis, all Ford Escapes, have made it to about the 300,000-mile mark -- nearing the city's official taxi retirement age -- and are being taken off the road. Their longevity shows that hybrid technology is more durable than previously imagined; they also have saved drivers about $9,000 a year, depending on gas prices and number of shifts driven.
