Hi! What is the difference between a "passenger taxi" and a taxi? Both of them are mentioned in an enumeration about means of transport. Thanks in advance.

  -> Gracias, Carole.

  -> Gracias, Nahuel.
agree  Manuel Figueroa: Sí, de acuerdo. Solo quiero añadir que en la región noroeste de México hay muchos regionalismos. En el área noroeste del país (Sinaloa, Sonora y Baja California) el término "pesero(a)" se usa más bien para referirse a un autobús. Saludos.

  -> Así es. Ya quedan pocos peseros que sean carros. En los años 80 empezaron a desaparecer a favor de las "combis", luego estas dieron paso a los microbuses. Estos últimos, por su parte, están condenados a desaparecer, por lo menos en la ciudad de México.
agree  Andrée Goreux: Sí, en Chile les decimos "colectivos" a secas, dada la tendencia nacional a abreviar todo. En una de esas, le dicen "el cole"!!!! ¡Saludos! También para Nahuelhuapi

  -> Y ya no vamos a saber si se refieren al colegio o al colectivo. Gracias, Andrée.
