taxicab

     

A taxicab, also taxi or cab, is a type of public transport for a single passenger, or small group of passengers, typically for a non-share ride. A taxicab is a vehicle for hire which conveys passengers between locations of their choice. In most other modes of public transport, the pick-up and drop-off locations are determined by the service provider, not by the passenger, although demand responsive transport and share taxis provide a hybrid bus/taxi mode.
