A
taxicab, also known as a
taxi or a
cab, is a type of
vehicle for hire with a driver, used by a single passenger or small group of passengers, often for a non-shared ride. A taxicab conveys passengers between locations of their choice. This differs from other modes of
public transport where 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.
