The Montreal Taxi Bureau has yet to institute a law requiring all taxi owners to conform to this image. However, this change is already taking place gradually, as taxi companies find it clearly beneficial and various advantages. The transition to the new look of taxis is usually done when owners need to change their vehicles. They then opt for a white paint. It will only take a few years for all taxis to be two-colored, as the maximum lifespan of a taxi is eight years.
