-a taxicab 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’)
.
(there are 4 distinct forms of ‘taxicab’, which can be identified by slightly differing terms in different countries…)
(‘hackney carriages’ (also known as ‘public hire’, ‘hailed’, or ‘street’ taxis) licensed for ‘hailing’ throughout communities)
(‘private hire vehicles’ (also known as ‘minicabs’ or ‘private hire taxis’) licensed for ‘pre-booking’ only)
(‘taxibuses’ (also come many variations throughout the ‘developing countries’ as ‘jitneys or ‘jeepney’) operating on ‘pre-set routes’ typified by multiple ‘stops’ and multiple ‘independent passengers’)
(‘limousines’, specialized vehicle licensed for operation by ‘pre-booking’)
.
(although types of ‘vehicles’ and methods of ‘regulation’, ‘hiring’, ‘dispatching’, and ‘negotiating’ payment differ significantly from ‘country’ to ‘country’, many common characteristics exist)
(disputes over whether ‘smartphone-based ride hailing services’ should be regulated as ‘taxicabs’ has resulted in some ‘jurisdictions’ creating a new classification called ‘transportation network company’)
