This is a tribute to Toronto's pioneering taxicab company, born from the innovative spirit of Thornton Blackburn, an escaped slave from Kentucky who seized the opportunity to revolutionize transportation with his low-cost horse-drawn carriage service. With its bold red-and-white colors, this humble venture would lay the groundwork for Toronto's thriving taxi industry, which would eventually flourish under the guidance of visionaries like Blackburn.
