Some stands are marked by painted signs. Taxi stands work as a [[first-come, first-served]] queue, so that the first taxicab to arrive on the stand (the one at the front of the line) serves the first passenger to arrive, and as the first taxicab leaves, each taxicab behind it moves ahead one spot, with the last taxicab to arrive taking the last spot. ==Other websites== *{{Commons category-inline|Taxi stands|Taxicab stand}} {{Public transport}} {{transport-stub}} [[Category:Public transport]] [[Category:Street furniture]]
