As the Covid-19 outbreak has hit the global economy, many taxi drivers in Bangkok, Thailand abandoned the service.

However, a taxi rental garage firm in Bangkok, whose cars are currently out of service due to the downturn in business as a result of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic came up with an innovative idea. They created vegetable gardens on the roofs of vehicles.

The cabs now sport veggies like chilli, holy basil, eggplant, spring onions among other vegetables.

Have a look.
