A road transport mode in which a driver carries a fare-paying passenger to a destination of the passenger's choosing in a car hired for that one trip, rather than along a fixed route or schedule the way a bus or train runs. Taxi transport is typically hailed on the street, ordered by phone or booked through an app, and it is distinguished from ordinary car travel by being a for-hire service operated on demand for a single passenger or party rather than a fixed route shared with strangers.
