Strictly speaking, are taxis public transportation?
With a passenger in , yes.
>>2081505Private car for hire so no. You're not sharing it with randoms.
yes but bus riding plebs will be seething about it regardless.
>>2081505they are, legally, at least in my socialist shithole
>>2081505not really no. Public generally means publicly funded and they are a private business. I guess you could make a case that Greyhound busses could be considered "Mass transit" since they operate like public transit while being privately owned
>>2081542Public doesn't mean collective (i.e.: buses)>>2081624No, public means it's for public, as opposed to private, use.
>>2081692By that same logic a private jet is public transport since you can rent it. It's a for hire service. Semi public at best.
>>2081705>since you can rent itif you rent it, it is. if you don't, it's not. sounds pretty simple.
