Hired ride service
A taxi company is a business that operates a fleet of taxis, dispatching drivers to pick up passengers who call or hail for rides.
Before rideshare apps, taxi companies dominated urban transportation: She called the taxi company for a ride to the airport.
The term distinguishes traditional cab services from newer app-based competitors like Uber and Lyft.
