my father use to drive a taxi cab in the 1970 s.
Taxicabs are very useful in getting passengers to locations of their choice! How long did he drive for?
almost 20 years. still he ill
I wonder if he had more single passengers, or if he drove around small groups more often than single passengers.
even i it self ask the same question to him. but still i didn't get answer
Aww, shucks. I'm sure he drove around his share of both! I bet he got to meet many different kinds of people.
may be?
from London, where the word was in use by early 1907. "Taxicab" is a compound word formed from contractions of "taximeter" and "cabriolet". "Taximeter" is an adaptation of the German word "taxameter", which was itself a variant of the earlier German word "Taxanom". "Taxe" (pronounced "tax-eh") is a German word meaning "tax", "charge", or "scale of charges". The Medieval Latin word "taxa" also means
gather. It is a type of share taxi system but without timetables or government influence. Each taxi will drive a more or less fixed route to a set destination and all passengers looking for transport to that destination or somewhere along the route used share one grand taxi. When the taxi is full (maximum 4 passengers on the rear seat and two on the front-passenger chair) he will depart. He might depart earlier if it takes too long to wait for a full car and/or when he expects to pick up more
