Default Taxi on test

Not a universally accepted distinction. A taxi can either be a hackney
carriage or a private hire vehicle. The general public outside London tends
to think of both as taxis.

In some Council areas a vehicle can be effectively both (this I think
comes under the Hackney carriage licence). You can hail it for the
metered fare, or you can book it for the private hire fare which is
mostly determined using an Uber-clone app in MK these days.

Milton Keynes Council allows this, there are quite a number of them.
