A carriage for hire is a form of transportation that can be used for a variety of purposes. The two most common types of carriages for hire are taxis and prams. A TAXI is a vehicle with a driver that can be hired to take passengers from one place to another. A PRAM is a small, four-wheeled carriage that is typically used to transport infants or young children. Both taxis and prams are available for hire in many cities around the world.
