Everything about Vehicle For Hire totally explained
A
vehicle for hire is a
vehicle providing
shared transportation, which transports one or more passengers between locations of the passengers' choice (or close to it).
Vehicles for hire can be distinguished from conventional modes of public transportation in that vehicle for hire passengers are more or less free to choose their starting and ending locations (point of origin and destination), whereas in other modes, the passenger must choose from a limited selection of locations designated by the service provider. This mode should also be distinguished from
hiring a vehicle for driving oneself (see
car rental and
carsharing).
The most common vehicle for hire around the world is the
taxicab; other vehicles for hire include
limousines,
party buses,
rickshaws,
auto rickshaws,
motorcycle taxis,
velotaxis (pedicabs), horse-drawn
carriages (including
hackney carriages and
caleches), and
water taxis. However, aircraft can also be
chartered (see
Air charter).
Jitneys,
paratransit,
share taxis,
demand responsive transport,
public light buses and
shuttle buses are hybrids - halfway between taxicabs and
buses - and operate along somewhat fixed routes, with some flexibility in where passengers may be picked up or dropped off. Some of these routes may be very long, as in
New Zealand.
Shuttle services are also offered from many
airports around the world: they take multiple independent passengers, like a bus, and usually run between two fixed areas (typically an
airport and a downtown or hotel area), but will often pick up and drop off passengers anywhere reasonable within those areas, like a taxi. In
Hong Kong, small
vans provide goods services within the territory.
