taxi ranks
Designated cab areas
Taxi ranks are designated areas where taxis wait in line for passengers, typically found at airports, train stations, and busy city centers.
The term is primarily British; Americans say taxi stands.
Passengers take the cab at the front of the queue: There's usually a taxi rank outside the station.
