At first I thought that this cab was named Banana. It is amazing how our minds can play tricks on us, especially in a situation where the stimulus presented is unexpected. According to Wiktionary.org Banna is the Chickasaw word for to curse or forbid. The idea of a forbidden or cursed cab sounds mysterious and romantic.
Banna could also refer to Hassan al-Banna, حسن البنا, who according to Wikipedia.org is the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is an important but banned political organization in Egypt. I imagine it could also be drivers name.
