Yellow cabs date back to at least 1798, when the musical comedy, Cabriolet Jaune (Yellow Cab), debuted at Paris' Theatre de l’Opera Comique National. Yellow cabs were known in Paris and London throughout most of the 1800s. A yellow cab company shook up the New York Cab system in the mid-1880s, offering cheaper, more predictable fares than competitors. According to Yellow Cab Co. tradition, the yellow color was selected by John Hertz as the result of a survey he commissioned at a "local university", which indicated it was the easiest color to spot. The Yellow Taxicab Co. was incorporated in New York on April 4, 1912. Its fares that year started at 50/mile (roughly equivalent to $12.12 in 2016 adjusted for inflation). The Yellow Cab Manufacturing Company was formed in 1920. In 2017, a study showed that the color yellow for taxis was more noticeable resulting in 9% fewer accidents.
