Taxi driving involves transporting passengers from one location to another in a vehicle, typically a car or minivan. Taxi drivers pick up customers who request rides, often using a meter to calculate fares based on distance and time. They must navigate city streets, follow traffic laws, and ensure passenger safety. To become a taxi driver, individuals usually need a valid driver's license and may require a special taxi license or permit. Many drivers work for taxi companies, while others operate independently. Good communication skills and knowledge of local routes are essential for providing efficient service to passengers.
