motorcycle taxi

Hired bike ride

A motorcycle taxi is a for-hire vehicle service where passengers ride on the back of a motorcycle.

Common in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America, they navigate congested urban traffic more quickly than cars: We took a motorcycle taxi through Bangkok's rush hour.

Also called moto-taxi, boda boda, or ojek depending on the region.
