cab rank
Hired cars waiting
A cab rank is a designated place where taxis wait in line for passengers, typically found at train stations, airports, and busy urban locations.
Called a taxi stand in American English.
The term gives rise to the cab-rank rule in British legal practice, which requires barristers to accept any case within their expertise, like cabs taking passengers in order.
