Taxicab

A taxicab is a common yellow car used for people to transport around places when they can't be able to use any type of transportation.

Money and Cost
All taxis cost money to transport the person over to their destination. Most taxis pay you depending on the amount of time it takes to get to the certain area you have requested to enter. Unfortunately, that also means that you have to pay more if the cab is stuck in heavier traffic.

Another less-common method of charge is to measure by distance, which is seen as a much more fair method of charge as heavy traffic and traffic jams are no one's fault.

Trivia

 * Thought most taxicabs are yellow in color, they can be red in certain parts of Canada such as Richmond, BC.
 * They are not common on the streets at all in California.
