Just how on Earth (or in Paris) can a taxi service prevent a traffic jam? Can anyone explain?

Chocolat's picture 288 pencils

its a motorbike cab.....thats why they can weave through traffic, instead of getting stuck in it. Atleast thats what i got from it....

Great execution.
Anyone want some snail cream?

ah yeah, the parisians and their scooters...
nice ad!

tiny_wordz's picture 327 pencils

if it could work around the traffic jam, then why did it crush the snails? i think it's a good idea though. not great but good.

ottobaez's picture 21 pencils

you're wright, they could go between the snails. Probably if the snails were the size of cars and the motorcab were between them, it woul have worked better.

addyhoch10's picture 2599 pencils

their fierce driving style is what makes scooters and motorbikes probably the fastest means of transport in paris:
the last time i've been there with my car a guy knocked off one of my side-view mirrors with his scooter, working "around" the traffic jam and it seemed he didn't even notice. so they indeed crush the snails

jennywhx's picture 1144 pencils

Love the idea! but....why crush the snails.
But still, nice ad!

slim's picture 1047 pencils

They're snails. They're slow, weak, defenceless. Why not crush them?
CRUSH THEM ALL AND EXCHANGE THEIR MEAT FOR GOLD!!!!

Desi's picture 1052 pencils

Crushing the snail makes it weak. But nice thought otherwise.

mrtalented's picture 2175 pencils

poor snails! i like the photo.

klaussnow's picture 1689 pencils

sssss, ouch.

... its already been done...

A. J. SMITH's picture 2850 pencils

Yeah, this is cool!

I like it alot.

Weird visual combined with a good line, and the one compliments the other.

Is it just me, or would a small part of you be tempted to ride the bike straight over those snails.

Yep thats what I said. I'm going to hell anyway.
