TaxicabTaxi – Taxi is probably the most common form compared to taxicab. Taxi is common in non-English speaking countries compared to the current title. Interstellarity (talk) 12:08, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Post-move comment

[edit]
I would expect the categories to use the same common name as the main article. Why "not necessarily?" 162 etc. (talk) 23:15, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
On 2nd look, yes, I support renaming the subcategories to match the parent article. SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:59, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree (per WP:C2D), and right after closing the RM I nominated the main Category:Taxicabs at WP:CFDS. I forgot to nominate the subcategories however, but maybe those can be moved uncontroversially once the parent category is moved? If not they'll have to be nominated separately I guess.

Police-Taxis and Undercover Taxis

[edit]

Should add a section called "Police" where it talks about Undercover Taxis and Police cars repainted with a police livery at the front and a taxi livery at the rear?

Women taxi drivers

[edit]

This article already has a whole lot of images, so I hesitate to add another, but File:The Town Crier, v.12, no.51, Dec. 22, 1917 - DPLA - faa354bbccb444d93d1d37e11c751e3f (page 16).jpg is a 1917 article in a Seattle magazine about Frank Waterhouse's Seattle Taxicab and Transfer Company hiring seven women cab drivers, apparently a first (at least for the U.S.). We have very little in the article about the demographics of cab drivers, quite likely a direction worth some expansion. - Jmabel | Talk 19:38, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
