The title of this thread is "The Mystery of the Moved Taxi". It is quite a specific title. As it is clear to anyone who isn't blind and suffering from severe learning disabilities the taxi has not moved.
Why then is this thread still going? If it were a horse they would have shot it by now.

The pole was moved.

Face it.
Your "moving" taxi is an illusion due to perspective compression, that is all.
The following slide show illustrates the effect of different focal length on the perspective. Please note that the lamp has the same size on film for every focal length (so I moved my position according to the focal length as opposed to "zooming").

Your photographer, clearly says he moved his position...
