Autos for hire, also known as CABS, are vehicles that can be hired for a fee to transport people from one place to another. CABS are typically operated by a driver who is employed by a taxi company or an independent contractor. They are often used for short trips, such as to and from the airport, or for longer trips, such as sightseeing tours. CABS are a convenient and cost-effective way to get around in many cities.
