Fancy a drink to quench your thirst while in a taxi? New Orleans Carriage Cab has launched a fleet of taxis that have in-built soft drink vending machines. For just US$0.99, passengers can get themselves a cold non-alcoholic beverage—such as Coke, Diet Coke, Dr Pepper, Sprite, iced and orange Fanta—by ordering through a touchscreen display and swiping their credit or debit card.
