What was the name of the cab company on "Taxi"?

The cab company on the television sitcom Taxi was called Sunshine Cab Company. The series followed the night-shift employees who drove for the fictional New York company, whose garage served as the show's main setting.

Sunshine Cab was not merely background decoration. Many stories centered on the drivers' work, friendships, ambitions, and arguments inside the Manhattan garage. Louie De Palma, played by Danny DeVito, worked as the company's aggressive head dispatcher and frequently clashed with the drivers.

The ensemble included Alex Reiger, Bobby Wheeler, Elaine Nardo, Tony Banta, Latka Gravas, and Reverend Jim Ignatowski. Although Taxi was filmed at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, its characters and setting were presented as part of New York City's taxi culture.

A common mix-up is answering with the name of a character or dispatcher rather than the company. Sunshine is the key identifying word, while the full name used in the show is Sunshine Cab Company.
