A taxicab, also known as a taxi or a cab, is a type of vehicle for hire with a driver, used by a single passenger or small group of passengers often for a non-shared ride. A taxicab conveys passengers between locations of their choice. In modes of public transport, the pick-up and drop-off locations are determined by the service provider, not by the passenger, although demand responsive transport and share taxis provide a hybrid bus/taxi mode.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab

There are four distinct forms of taxicab, which can be identified by slightly differing terms in different countries:

Hackney carriages also known as public hire, hailed or street taxis, licensed for hailing throughout communities
Private hire vehicles, also known as minicabs or private hire taxis, licensed for pre-booking only
Taxibuses, also known as Jitneys, operating on pre-set routes typified by multiple stops and multiple independent passengers
Limousines, specialized vehicle licensed for operation by pre-booking

Although types of vehicles and methods of regulation, hiring, dispatching, and negotiating payment differ significantly from country to country, many common characteristics exist.

Twitter wish list for Glastonbury Festival headliners
Twitter has finally got over the trauma of trying to get Glastonbury Festival tickets, and has turned it’s attention back to working out who the headliners are doing to be, this week.

And this week, things to be taking a decidedly turn to the dark side, with the Napster-destroying Lars Ulrich from Metallica talking about the band’s desperation to play the festival and AC/DC hopping onto the rumour list (while wearing a schoolboy outfit, presumably.)
