shared taxis

Pooled ride services

Shared taxis are vehicles that pick up multiple passengers traveling similar routes, splitting the fare among them.

Common in many countries where public transit is limited, they operate somewhere between buses and private taxis—following loose routes but offering more flexibility.

Passengers flag them down and exit when convenient: We took a shared taxi from the airport into town.
