Definition: “A taxicab<\/b>, also known as a taxi<\/b> or a cab<\/b>, is a type of vehicle for hire<\/a> 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<\/a> where the pick-up and drop-off locations are determined by the service provider, not by the passenger, although demand responsive transport<\/a> and share taxis<\/a> provide a hybrid bus\/taxi mode.<\/p>\n There are four distinct forms of taxicab, which can be identified by slightly differing terms in different countries:<\/p>\n Although types of vehicles and methods of regulation, hiring, dispatching, and negotiating payment differ significantly from country to country, many common characteristics exist.” (Wikipedia<\/a>)<\/p>\n Yellow Cab<\/p>\n Etymology: “Harry Nathaniel Allen of The New York Taxicab Company, who imported the first 600 gas-powered New York City<\/a> taxicabs from France in 1907, coined the word “taxicab” as a contraction of “taximeter<\/a> cabriolet<\/a>“. “Taximeter” is an adaptation of the French<\/a> word taxim\u00e8tre<\/i>, coined from Medieval Latin<\/a> taxa<\/i>, which means tax<\/i> or charge<\/i>, together with meter<\/i> from the Greek<\/a> metron<\/i> (??????<\/span>) meaning measure.[1]<\/a><\/sup> A “cabriolet” is a type of horse-drawn carriage, from the French<\/a> word “cabrioler” (“leap, caper”), from Italian “capriolare” (“to jump”), from Latin “capreolus” (“roebuck”, “wild goat”).<\/p>\n The taxicabs of Paris were equipped with the first meters beginning on March 9, 1898.
