cabbies
Urban fare drivers
Cabbies is the plural of cabby, an informal term for a taxi driver.
The word carries connotations of urban life and local knowledge: The cabbies in this city know every shortcut.
A cabbie might drive a traditional yellow cab or work for a rideshare service, though purists reserve the term for traditional taxi drivers.
