taxi drivers

Urban fare haulers

Taxi drivers are people who operate taxis—vehicles for hire that transport passengers to requested destinations.

The term covers both traditional yellow cab drivers and those working for rideshare services.

The taxi drivers in this city know every shortcut.

The occupation has become shorthand for immigrant hustle in American culture, where educated professionals from other countries often drive cabs while establishing themselves.
