Search Results - Taxicab

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A taxicab, also taxi or cab, is a type of vehicle for hire, with a driver, for a single passenger, or small group of passengers, typically for a non-shared ride. A taxicab conveys passengers between locations of their choice. In modes of public transport, 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.

Four distinct forms of 'taxicab' can be identified, by slightly differing terms in different countries Hackney Carriage, also known as public hire, hailed or street taxis, available for hire and reward and for hailing on street; Private Hire Vehicles (PHVs), also known as minicabs; Private Hire Taxis, available by pre-booking, not (legally) available for hailing on street; Taxibuses, also known as Jitneys, operating on pre-set routes for hire and reward, typified by multiple stops and multiple; and 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.

Harry Nathaniel Allen of The New York Taxicab Co., who imported the first 600 gas-powered New York taxicabs from France, coined the word taxicab as a contraction of taximeter cab. In time, the shortened term, taxi, came into common usage. Cab is an abbreviation of cabriolet, a type of horse-drawn carriage. In Britain, the word taxicab is rarely used.[citation needed] In the U.K., taximeter cab was shortened to taxi and cab, and these were and are used separately to distinguish between type of service and/or type of vehicle.[citation needed] In this article, taxicab appears throughout.

2. St Louis County Anti Taxi Ordinance 09/29/2009
October 02, 2009

St Louis County Anti Taxi Ordinance 09/29/2009 Unincorporated St. Louis County, in its infinite wisdom, has come up with an ordinance that states you can not park your taxicab in your own driveway. I have been a taxi driver since 1988, and never came across such a nonsensical law. The state of Missouri says that a commercial vehicle is defined as a vehicle, with a minimum gross weight of 15,000lbs. The prosecutor, in family court said the St. Louis County ordinance is more prohibitive, and trumps state law, although I have not seen a copy of the county law. I will investig... (read more)
