The triple crown of bridge is a career achievement in duplicate bridge, namely winning the three marquee Open world championships conducted by the World Bridge Federation. The Bermuda Bowl is now contested by national teams in odd-number years; the Olympiad Open Teams, contested by national teams in Olympic years, has been incorporated in the World Mind Sports Games. The Olympiad Open Pairs, now World Open Pairs Championship, is contested in non-Olympic even-number years; the Bermuda Bowl was inaugurated in 1950, eight years before the World Bridge Federation was established with the general purpose to conduct world championships at bridge. There were 23 renditions to 1977; the Teams and Pairs "Olympiads", as they were both called when inaugurated by the WBF in 1960 and 1962, have always been quadrennial. Pierre Jaïs and Roger Trézel of France won both of the inaugural Olympiads. Ten players have accomplished the feat, although two of them were convicted of cheating in 2016 and banned for life from playing with each other.

Bold highlights the year. These ten players have all achieved the triple crown playing together, in five partnerships; that need not be so. Indeed, the World Open Pairs is not restricted to entries by two players who are from the same bridge nation, although most entries are from one nation, as are most established partnerships. Marcelo Branco alone first achieved the triple crown before he and one partner achieved it playing together—one year earlier. No one has achieved this triple crown in three years, possible from any even-number year to the next. Fulvio Fantoni and Claudio Nunes first achieved it in the four-year span, in 2002 and 2004–2005. In 2006, as defending champions in the quadrennial World Open Pairs Championship, a win would have secured "Fantunes" a consecutive triple crown, they finished third, the closest for any pair to defend its Pairs title.^ Fulvio Fantoni and Claudio Nunes were found cheating, are barred from play by multiple bridge associations. There are parallel events restricted to Women, contested in the same WBF meets.

That has been true from the original Olympiad Teams and Pairs tournaments in 1960 and 1962, from 1985 for the Venice Cup alongside the Bermuda Bowl. The Venice Cup trophy was first contested in 1974, first as a WBF world championship in 1978 A single world championship meet, with events for Open and Women teams, was conducted by the International Bridge League in 1937. Austria was a double winner and one of its women players, Rixi Scharfstein, completed a unique triple crown in the 1960s. Now Rixi Markus of Great Britain, she won the inaugural Olympiad Pairs in 1962 and Olympiad Teams in 1964. Markus and her regular partner Fritzi Gordon were on the 1976 Great Britain team that finished second for the Venice Cup when it was contested for the second time, they won the Mixed Teams world championship at the first Olympiad Pairs meet in 1962, an event, not repeated.

There are many yellow cab taxicab operators around the world. The original Yellow Cab Company, based in Chicago, was one of the largest taxicab companies in the United States. Yellow cabs date back to at least 1798, when the musical comedy, Cabriolet Jaune, debuted at Paris' Theatre de l’Opera Comique National. Yellow cabs were known in London throughout most of the 1800s. A yellow cab company shook up the New York Cab system in the mid-1880s, offering cheaper, more predictable fares than competitors. One of the first automobile cabs in London, in the 1890s, was a yellow electric automobile; the Yellow Cab Company of Chicago was founded by John D. Hertz in 1907, their specially designed taxicabs were powered by a 4-cylinder Continental engine equipped with a purpose-built taxicab body supplied by the Racine Body Co. of Racine, Wisconsin. According to Yellow Cab Co. tradition, the color yellow was selected by John Hertz as the result of a survey he commissioned at a "local university", which indicated it was the easiest color to spot.

However, "he was not the first taxicab operator to use that color and the university study to which B. C. Forbes refers has yet to be discovered."In 1908, Albert Rockwell and General Manager of the New Departure Manufacturing Co. of Bristol, traveled to Europe to evaluate their taxi systems, hoping to develop a similar one in Washington, D. C. Ernest Wyckoff, Alfred Church and Clarence Partridge, well-known automobile dealers in New York, had a number of orange-yellow colored Rockwell taxicabs operating on Manhattan streets in 1909. By March 1910, the Connecticut Cab Co. assumed operating control of Wyckoff and Partridge's taxis. The Yellow Taxicab Co. was incorporated in New York on April 4, 1912. Its fares that year started at 50¢/mile. Among its directors and major stockholders were Albert Rockwell and the Connecticut Cab Co. Shortly after incorporation the Yellow Taxicab Co. merged with the Cab and Taxi Co. and with the strength of Connecticut Cab Co. behind them, the young business assumed a large share of the New York market.

Its independent corporate life was short, however, as fare wars and regulations forced a merger with the Mason-Seaman Transportation Co. on March 3, 1914. Shortly after, an injunction was filed by the company, seeking to restrain the city from enforcing the Public Hack ordinances, but it was rejected on appeal. By 1916, the company was being held in receivership, due to suits by numerous creditors; the Yellow Cab Manufacturing Company was formed in 1920. In 2017, a study showed that the color yellow, for taxis, was more noticeable, resulting in 9% fewer accidents; the Yellow Cab Group operates in Queensland and Tasmania. Yellow Cabs operate in Melbourne. There all taxi companies have yellow-painted cabs. Yellow and Coastal Cabs are in Western Australia; the Yellow Cab Company of Vancouver, British Columbia was founded in 1921. Yellow Cab Company of Toronto, Ontario. Yellow Cab of Burlington, Ontario.
