المعنى
To use a taxi for transportation.
خلفية ثقافية
In Paris, taxis are strictly regulated. You cannot always hail them on the street; you must find a 'Borne de Taxi' (taxi pole) or a station. In Montreal, taxis are very common, but ride-sharing apps are equally popular. The term 'taxi' is used exactly as in France. In Dakar, 'taxis clandestins' (unlicensed taxis) exist alongside official ones. Always negotiate the price before 'prendre le taxi'. There are 'Petits Taxis' (for city travel) and 'Grands Taxis' (for inter-city travel). You 'take' them differently!
Use Apps
In France, download the 'G7' app. It's the official taxi app and often more reliable than hailing on the street.
Check the Light
Never try to stop a taxi with a red light; they already have a passenger and won't stop.

Say Hello
Always say 'Bonjour Monsieur/Madame' when you enter the taxi. It is considered very rude to just give your destination.
