A LITTLE HISTORY LESSON ON TAXIS:

A taxicab, also known commonly as a taxi or cab, is a type of vehicle for hire with a driver, used by a single passenger or small group of passengers travelling together to a destination or destinations, often, for a ‘non-shared’ ride (due to cost implications).

A taxicab or taxi driver from Malvern drops passengers between locations of their choice, this is sometimes pre-paid or paid on the end of a journey. 

In terms of public transport, they pick-up and drop-off passengers; locations, fastest-route to destination is often determined by the service provider I.E the taxi driver or taxi company.

There are four distinct forms of taxis, which can be identified by slightly differing terms in different countries: hackney carriages, also known as public hire, hailed or street taxis, licensed for hailing on the street; private hire vehicles, also known as minicabs or private hire taxis, licensed for pre-booking only; Taxi buses, also known as Jitneys, operating on pre-set routes typified by multiple stops and multiple independent passengers; and Limousines, specialised vehicle licensed for operation by pre-booking.

Malvern Taxis uses a “Private Hire vehicle” from locations in Malvern Town to across the UK.

Although the types of vehicles and methods of regulation, hiring, dispatching, and negotiating payment differ significantly from country to country, many common characteristics exist, i.e metered taxi in-line with the local council.
