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.

Indie rockers Arcade Fire are being tipped for Glastonbury after they dropped less of a hint, and more of an anvil, in a radio interview.

In an interview with Jo Whiley on Radio 2 on Tuesday night, they were talking about their touring plans.

“Get your wellies ready,” said frontman Win Butler.

“The wellies have been bought for a certain UK festival – we know the one that has quite a reputation for rain and welly-wearing…we shall leave it at that.”

The singer, who was a guest on Nick Grimshaw’s Radio 1 Breakfast Show Tuesday morning, said she will be playing at Worthy Farm in 2014 as part of an extensive summer tour.

“It got confirmed yesterday,” she said. “”That’s the first big thing I’m going to be doing. I’ll be doing 16 weeks of festivals over the summer and then tour. It’s the best festival, I think – that, and Fuji Rock in Japan.”
