cabbing
Riding hired cars
Taking a cab or taxi as transportation: We ended up cabbing it across town.
The word implies a practical choice when other options are inconvenient—you're not walking, not driving yourself, just hiring a ride.
Less common now that rideshare apps have changed the vocabulary of getting around.
