Transport infrastructure consists of fixed installations, including roads, railways, airways, waterways, canals, and pipelines, as well as terminals such as airports, railway stations, bus stations, warehouses, trucking terminals, refueling depots (including fuel docks and fuel stations), and seaports. Terminals may be used both for the interchange of passengers and cargo and for maintenance.
A taxi, also known as a taxicab or simply a cab, is a vehicle for hire that provides point-to-point transportation for passengers typically on an exclusive, non-shared basis. This differs from public transport, where pick-up and drop-off points are set by the service provider, although demand-responsive transport and share taxis provide hybrid bus/taxi modes.
Types of vehicles, methods of regulation, hiring, dispatching, and negotiating payment differ from country to country. The main forms of taxi are:
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, which come in many variations throughout the developing countries as jitneys or jeepney, operating on pre-set routes typified by multiple stops and multiple independent passengers
