Biggest biodiesel MB taxi fleet in USA W140/W210

Not in the best condition, but quite a few of them, a few of them gas.
The taxis in USA are vomit comets, but at least, these guys are on the bandwagen
Working at LAX (somthing wrong with the tail lights, but has MB Dealer plate "Beverly Hills Ltd." on it):
