A cab, short for taxicab or taxi, is a vehicle for hire used to transport passengers to a destination of their choosing. Cabs typically operate in urban areas and are easily identifiable by their distinct markings, often including a roof light and specific color scheme. Passengers hail cabs on the street, find them at designated taxi stands, or book them through dispatch services or mobile apps. Fares are usually calculated based on distance traveled and time spent in traffic, often displayed on a meter within the cab.
