By Bucky Goodwin


A taxi cab is a vehicle usually bought for business purposes. In most cases they have big trunks to fit their purposes. They are always of a lower price since they depreciate very fast. These vehicles must be insured and registered by the Board of Driving. The owner therefore has to be available to provide the details. It is very rare to find expensive and luxurious vehicles used as taxi cabs.

Public hire vehicle is a type of taxi that is specifically used in the streets. The owners of the vehicle always direct the driver not to drive past the streets. The cars are always meant for short distance journeys specifically within town. They can be used to carry luggage from a bus station to another vehicle terminal. They also carry goods from a wholesale to a shop or bus station. The vehicles are always very many and provide reliable services.

Taxi buses are always designed for a specific route. They have their departure and arrival time. They also have a constant number of trips they have to do.

They must be booked early enough for them to be serviced well before they can be used. They can be used in occasions such as weddings and funerals.

Those who use wheel chairs are privileged since some taxis are made in such a way that they can accommodate them. They have a certain cabin that the wheelchair is positioned and held with a certain belt. Passengers are assisted to enter the car through a lift. They are modified to be very comfortable for these people. Such cars are very few in town and can only accommodate one wheel chaired person with other able people.
