Taxi   -> a motor vehicle licensed to transport passengers in return for payment of a fare.\norigin ->early 20th cent.: abbrev. of taxicab or taximeter cab\ntaxicab\n    Horse-drawn for-hire hackney carriage services began\noperating in both Paris and London in the early 17th century. Royal proclamations in both cities regulated the number of carriages--the first example of taxicab regulation. In the 19th century, Hansom cabs largely replaced the older designs because of their improved speed and safety.\n\nAlthough battery-powered vehicles enjoyed a brief success in Paris, London, and New York in the 1890s, the 1891 invention by German Wilhelm Bruhn of the taximeter (the familiar mechanical and now often electronic device that calculates the fare in most taxis) ushered in the modern taxi. (The "taxi" in "taximeter" is related to the word "tax," or "rate.") The first modern meter-equipped taxi was the Daimler Victoria, built by Gottlieb Daimler in 1897; the first motorized taxi company began operating in Stuttgart the same year.\n\nPetrol powered taxis began operating in Paris in 1899, in London in 1903, and in New York in 1907. The New York taxis were imported from France by businessperson Harry N. Allen, who adapted the French word taxi-mètre and coined the word "taxicab" to describe the vehicles he was importing. In time, the shortened term "taxi" came into common usage. (Allen was also the first person to paint his taxis yellow, after learning that yellow is the colour most easily seen from a distance.)\n\n \nThe yellow taxicabs of New York City.Taxis proliferated around the world in the early 20th century. The first major innovation after the invention of the taximeter occurred in the late 1940s, when two-way radios first appeared in taxicabs. Radios enabled taxis and dispatch offices to communicate and serve customers more efficiently than previous methods, such as using callboxes. The next major innovation occurred in the 1980s, when computer assisted dispatching was first introduced.\n\nThere has generally been a legal struggle concerning the certification of motor vehicles to be taxis, which take much more wear than a private car does. In Britain, they were additionally required to meet stringent specifications, for example, as concerns turn radius, which resulted for a time in having only one make legally usable. In the US, in the 1930s the cabs were often DeSotos or Packards. General Motors offered a specialized vehicle for a time, named the General. The firm Checker came into existence then, and went out of business in the 1970s. Its cars were specially built to carry "double dates." But now New York City requires that all taxicabs be ordinary cars. They are usually large Fords. In the 1960s in Europe, Mercedes Benz and Peugeot offered diesel taxicabs. This form of engine is now quite common there\n\n\nTaxis around the world\n\nThe advent of Taxi Cabs in the State of Queensland began about thirty years before the turn of the 20th century. This of course was long before motorised vehicles; in fact, horse drawn taxis had been used in Europe in the early 1800's. Australia adopted the use of them once cities were established, and in the case of Queensland, Brisbane introduced the first horse drawn taxis, which plied through out the city area. These also included Hansom Cabs, a more elaborate type with a closed in cabin for the passengers, having two small front doors and glass windows and their driver sitting high at the back. This type of vehicle was a standard type used in England. Its use was confined mainly for upper class people; such as Luxury motor vehicles which are operated as hire cars nowadays.\n\nIt is interesting to note that Hansom Cabs were still being used in Brisbane until 1935, and were emanating from a rank outside the Supreme Court in George Street.\n\nMotor vehicle taxis were introduced into Australia not long after the

no . 12 miles times 30 cents each would be 3.60. multiply that by 5. then add 45 cents. it would come out to 18.45

You are talking about 7/100 of an hour.  That's less than 5 mins.  If you are getting $10 an hour, then we are talking about 85 cents here.  \n\nMaybe you should just leave 5 mins (I mean .07 hr) early.\n\nGo ahead, I won't tell.

I dont know if it's good, depends on you're definition.  Obviously not bad since it transports thousands every day!  \n\nWe got subways, trains, buses, cabs, car service.  Even some horse and carriages in central park, but they don't really transport you anywhere, hehe!\n\nIf you are in the city (manhattan) most people use the subways, they are fast and cheap.  But if you don't care about money, you can hail a cab, though traffic there is horrible.  \n\nIf you are in the boroughs (brooklyn, queens, staten island...) you can grab a bus.  In staten island, yellow cabs aren't allowed, so you would have to call car service to get a cab...or just get on a bus or the train.\n\nThey sell fun day passes, where u can buy a bus pass for $7 and use it unlimited all day long.  It's the best deal for tourists.

To put simply, they regulate the taxi and limo business in NYC. They make sure that all yellow taxis have a medallion(business lisence) and things like that.

They should be taken in chains, around the country and at each stop, for $5.00 you get to personally flog them. All proceeds will then go to pay off the debt they have incurred on our behalf.
