How to Find a Taxi Cab
A taxi cab is a passenger vehicle that has been licensed for commercial operation.Taxicabs use a meter to determine the fare and charge according to distance traveled,time spent on the ride or a combination of both.For example,if a taxicab cannot move due to heavy traffic,you would not be charged for distance,but instead the meter calculates the time the taxicab idles waiting for the traffic to clear.In addition,you may be charged extra fees for luggage and for starting the ride at a major transportation hub.
Instructions
1.Call a taxicab company.
2.Go to a taxi stand,which may be marked by a signpost bearing the word“Taxi,”or with the word“Taxi”painted on the pavement.
3.Go to a busy intersection and hail a cab.
4.Go to the arrivals area of any transportation hub,including airports,bus stations and ferry terminals.
5.Go to a big or busy hotel.
如何找到出租车
出租车是商业化运作授权的合法交通工具。出租车的计价方式是根据路程和时间长度核算出来的。例如一台出租车因为交通堵塞而寸步难行的话,你不能根据路程付费,而是要包括等待的时间计算的。此外,你可能需要为你额外的行李和要经过重要的交通枢纽而额外付费。
指南
1.打电话给出租公司。
2.去出租车站,那里有明显的标示,上面写着“出租车”,或者在地面上喷着“出租车”。
3.去繁忙的十字路口,伸手拦截出租车。
4.去交通集散地的交通枢纽,包括机场,车站和渡轮码头。
5.到一个繁忙或者大型的酒店。
