全球出租车市场报告(2020-2027年)
A taxi, also known as a cab, is a type of vehicle for hire with driver used by a single passenger or small group of
passengers, often for a shared or non-shared ride. A taxi or a cab conveys passengers between locations of their
choice. This differs from public transport, as here the pick-up and drop-off locations are decided by the
customer, and not by the service provider. There are various distinct forms of taxi, which includes limousines,
hackney carriages, and private hire vehicles including passenger car, motorcycle, scooters, minivan, van, buses
& coaches, auto rikshaw, bicycles, and tricycles. Taxi services are typically provided by automobiles, but in some
countries various human-powered vehicles such as rickshaw or pedicab, animal-powered vehicles such as the
Hansom cab and water taxies or air taxies are also used. Customers can book a ride via text message request,
phone calls, or by going directly service provider’s physical location.
