Incidentally, taxis with doors that customers do not need to open themselves can rarely be seen overseas, and thus many foreign tourists visiting Japan are surprised by the automatic door (the information on automatic taxi doors is often introduced in some guide books for foreigners to Japan; in a contrasting situation, Japanese should be careful when they take a taxi in foreign countries because the door does not open automatically).
なお、ドアを客があける必要の無いのは日本以外にはほとんどなく、日本を旅する外国人は驚くことが多い（日本旅行向けガイドブックに紹介されていることがある。逆に日本人が外国でタクシーに乗ろうとするときは、ドアは開かないので注意）。
