A share taxi is a mode of transport which falls between both taxicabs and buses. These vehicles for hire are typically smaller than buses and usually take passengers on a fixed or semi-fixed route without timetables, but instead departing when all seats are filled. They may stop anywhere to pick up or drop off passengers. Often found in developing countries, the vehicles used as share taxis range from four-seat cars to minibuses. They are often owner-operated.
The UITP term "informal transport" includes share taxis.
A given share taxi route may start and finish in fixed central locations, and landmarks may serve as route names or route termini. In some African cities routes are run between formal termini, where the majority of passengers board. In these places the share taxis wait for a full load of passengers prior to departing, and off-peak wait times may be in excess of an hour.
In other places there may be no formal termini, with taxis simply congregating at a central location, instead.
You're not much good to me,
Staring out to see, gracing your island
There's more to it you see,
My auburn queen repeat, your royal highness
I could be wrong,
Could 1 week be far too long
Should I stay, or should I fly away
For 7 nights
You're far too good to me,
Alive at 6 am waking your island.
But Mary can't you see,
That cocked and loaded gun might take your eye out
A lizard for life,
Everyday at least a mile.
I never played the guitar, in Carson's Bar
For 7 nights
And the pirates show their stolen gold
And threaten us with smiles
While the man that waalks his laden ass
Covers yet another mile
The CNC does cartwheels
In the blazing summer sun
And the Jeagermeister's calling me
To maybe try another one
As she throws a silver yesterday
Into tomorrows liquid blue
Her island smiles for one last time
At the start of something new
As the little blue Piaggio
Feels the rust begin to bite
He smirks his recognition
Like he has for 7 nights.
You're not much good to me,
