International Taxi Driver Day
March 22 · Level 8 · #591 of 2238
International Taxi Driver Day is an informal occasion recognising the drivers who keep people moving at all hours. It celebrates a job that combines road awareness, local knowledge and the ability to work with passengers from every walk of life.
How it is celebrated: taxi fleets and booking services congratulate drivers, share employee stories and recognise experienced colleagues. Passengers add their thanks for careful journeys and helpful service.
The word “taxi” traces back to the taximeter, the device used to calculate a fare. The vehicle took its everyday name from the equipment that worked out the bill.
