Taxi

transportation · city life · service workers

Licensed drivers. Taxi drivers have special licenses and training so they know the best routes around the city and can safely get passengers where they need to go.

Point-to-point travel. Unlike buses that stop at set places, taxis take you from exactly where you are to exactly where you want to go, which is super convenient but costs more money.

Metered fares. Most taxis use a meter that adds up the cost based on distance and time, so passengers know what they'll pay before they start driving.

Modern app booking. Today, many people book taxis using apps on their phones instead of waiting on the street or calling a dispatch office.

Global tradition. Taxis have been around for over a hundred years and work almost the same way in cities all over the world.
