A Moscow owner hung a sign with this text on his car in 1907.
Alas, with the beginning of the war, and then the revolution, the domestic paid transportation of passengers fell sharply, and then completely disappeared.
In the days when Russian taxi drivers were urgently drafted into the army, and the cars were requisitioned for military needs, their French colleagues accomplished a feat. This operation entered the anthology, millions of copies of souvenirs, books, countless newspaper articles are devoted to it. When the Germans broke through the French defenses in the fall of 1914 and there was a threat to capture Paris, in one night 1200 taxis transferred over 6500 soldiers to the front near the Marne River. The capital was defended, the "Marne taxi" entered not only the annals of national history, but also strategy as a method of transferring troops not provided for by any charters.
As for the original purpose of a taxi, no matter how it was called in different eras, the British are still arguing with the French, the undisputed leaders in this area at the beginning of the 20th century. France insists that the very word "fiacre", which once meant "hired carriage", came from the town of Meaux, or rather, from the local chapel of St. Fiacre, the patron saint of flower growers. Like, it was at the neighboring inn that a certain Sauvage started in the 17th century double horse-drawn carts for transporting fellow countrymen. And since each was adorned with the image of a saint, the language, always striving for simplification, dubbed the carriages "fiacres".
England contrasts the vague XVII century with the exact year of the creation of a similar service - 1639. Then the drivers of four-wheeled carts, coachmen, received a license for private carriage. And in the middle of the 19th century, heavy carriages gave way to light two-seater open transport, convertibles, and the derivative of this term "cab" is still in use today. Remember the series about Sherlock Holmes and the cabman sitting high on the goats? He had to position himself so that he could make out signs with house numbers on the dark streets of London.
However, if the positions of English and French taxi historians agree in some way, then the compromise looks like this: the birthplace of a hired crew is still England, and France owns the laurels of the creator of a motorized taxi. And the British, through a pursed lip, admit that the first taxi in their capital was once a French car of the Unic brand. True, they notice at the same time that 70 Bersey electric cabs, the forerunners of all current electric vehicles, were working in London at the same time. With electric traction, nothing good happened then, but this, they say, is because it was ahead of its time.
When it became clear that not every car is suitable for a taxi service, Renault's finest hour came. It was she who began to mass-produce taxis of bright green or red colors with a taximeter, happily invented by the German Wilhelm Bruhn. With a closed passenger cabin and an open driver's cabin. With drivers dressed in long waterproof leather coats, with an almost army-style cap on their heads. If anyone remembers, this kind of headdress, and even with an angular cut in the manner of New York police caps, was suddenly worn by Moscow taxi drivers in the 1970s.
Russia, which has already become Soviet, began to revive taxis in 1925. Apparently, the idea of a hired crew instead of a privately owned one, that is, harmful in a classless society, came to the owners of the country. Cars, of course, had to be bought from the capitalists, from Renault and Fiat. Since an hourly taxi ride cost 4 rubles 50 kopecks with an average monthly salary of just over 21 rubles, the pleasure was not cheap.
An exemplary taxi service is the English London one. Its drivers not only pay big money for a private driving license, but also pass a difficult exam for knowledge of the British capital. Only 2-3 percent of them use a GPS navigator - they know the city so well. Conservative-looking "cabs" are required to work for 10-12 years without any problems and run 800 thousand kilometers. In fact, many cars have already clocked a million kilometers and have served for more than a quarter of a century.
According to some historical information, the ancient Romans were the pioneer taxi drivers. Chariots were the means of transport in those days, and a basin fixed on the axis of the wagon was used as a "taximeter". A pebble fell into it after every 200 meters. The fare was equal to the number of pebbles in the basin upon arrival.
The first signs of a full-fledged taxi began to appear in France in the middle of the 18th century. The Fiacres, named after Saint Fiacre, were the first public carriages in the world. Over time, carriages with horses were supplanted by progressive technology. The fiacres were equipped with an engine and control levers. The newly invented taximeter was also integrated into taxis. This contributed to the growth of popularity among the population of private transport. 
The Renault company was the first to start producing cars sharpened for a taxi. In their shape, they looked like a fiacre, the driver was in the front in the open part of the car, and the passengers in the back, closed and protected from the external environment. Thanks to the bright colors, the taxi stood out from the rest of the city's vehicles. There was no service for taking orders and calls, taxi drivers just drove around the city, attracting attention with loud signals. 
In 1907, the first private cab drivers appeared in England and Russia. Now this year is considered the birthday of the taxi. In Russia, the birth of a taxi as a separate mode of transport began because of the tense situation with people who came to the capital. A large number of travelers needed to be delivered with their luggage to the right place, and the demand for transport was very high. 
Starting in 1924, the Moscow Council began to massively purchase Renault and Fiat cars. The first taxis appeared on the streets of Moscow in 1925. At that time, all cars belonged to the state, there were no private owners. The quality of service at the same time was low, there were a catastrophic shortage of cars. Due to the high profitability for the treasury, the government wanted to eliminate these shortcomings. The replenishment of the fleet with GAZ and ZIS cars made taxis a public transport. In the post-war period, Pobeda became the main taxi car. 
In 1948, taxis were hung with "checkers" to distinguish them from the flow of other cars on the street. Since then, little has changed. Only the need for a large number of taxis in cities and villages has increased greatly. Therefore, if you need an inexpensive and comfortable taxi in Kazan, choose
Article published on 06/25/2014 02:04 PM Last edited on 06/25/2014 02:04 PMTaxi in the sense that we understand it now, appeared in 1907 in several countries at once. In Russia, for example, a driver attached an ad to his car. The inscription said that payment for transportation occurs by agreement of the parties.
March 22, 1907 is considered to be the birthday of the London taxi. It was on this day that the first taxis equipped with a taximeter appeared on the streets of the British capital.
In European countries, the taximeter appeared earlier than ours. Such a device resolved the issue of payment, which prevented mass transportation due to the eternal disputes between passengers and drivers about the fare.
Predecessors of modern taxis
Some historians claim that taximeters are an invention of the representatives of Ancient Rome. In those prehistoric times, a "stone" measure was used to calculate the fare.
A small vessel was attached to the axis of the ancient Roman taxi (chariot). Through each stage (a measure of length equal to approximately 200 m), a pebble fell into the vessel. Arriving at the place, the “cab driver” counted the number of pebbles, and “presented the bill” to the passengers.
In the seventeenth century, the London cab was licensed. To transport passengers, coachmen were required to obtain a permit or license. This policy was carried out in England from 1639. A year later, this practice was adopted by the Parisians.
Passengers began to be transported in cabs (open two-wheeled carts) from about the middle of the 19th century.
Unlike the Romans at that time, the Europeans did not set fixed tariffs for transportation. This situation led to the unprofitability of the export business. The rich did not need to hire a carriage, as they managed their own transport. Middle-class people used the services of coachmen only when absolutely necessary. And for the poor, such pleasure was an unaffordable luxury.
At the very end of the nineteenth century, Wilhelm Bruhn designed a device for paying passengers - a taximeter.
In 1907, all London taxis were equipped with the invention of a German scientist. Since then, the business has "gone uphill", the demand for the services of carriers has increased significantly.
Where are the checkers from?
There is no unequivocal opinion about the appearance of this accessory yet. It is established that he appeared in the third decade of the last century.
Some give the title of the ancestor of "checkers" - the world-famous identification mark to a company from the USA - CheckerTaxiofChicago. The leaders of the company - the carrier believed that the movement of cars in some way identical to the race. Checkered black and yellow flags were present in the racing competitions. This is where the famous chess game came from.
Others, not wanting to give the "palm" to the Americans, assure that the squares moved to the roofs of the taxi from the German checkered stripes. German taxis did indeed have checkered markings along the body of the car at about waist level.
Regardless of who was the first, a modern taxi is ready to transport anyone, anytime and anywhere, of course for the appropriate fee.
How did the first taxi appear?
Now you will not surprise anyone with a taxi service. Seems like she's always been there. Who will help us if we are late for work, stayed up late with friends or are at the station with a lot of luggage? Of course, a taxi immediately comes to mind.
The emergence of transportation services.
Where did the taxi first appear? Who first came up with this service? France and England are arguing about this. And if France indicates the appearance of paid transportation around the 17th century, then England knows the exact date. In 1639, the first export license was obtained.
These countries developed the service almost simultaneously. At first, horse-drawn transportation of people and goods was carried out. In France, they were called "fiacres", from the name of the church of St. Fiacre, next to which was the first park of horse-drawn carriages. In England, at first they were called "heckneys", which translates as "traveling horses", then such vehicles began to be called convertibles, due to the arrangement of the cabin itself, and later the people shortened the name to "Cab".
Horses are no longer in fashion.
With the development of technological progress in the late 19th century, horses were replaced by cars. But the problem arose, how to calculate the fare. And so, at the beginning of the 20th century, the constant disagreements between passengers and drivers in matters of fare, influenced the creation of the first taximeter. It automatically determined the price of the fare, taking into account the distance and travel time.
This solved all existing discrepancies at once.
After that, all cars that were engaged in transportation began to be equipped with such devices. Hence the name "taxi" appeared, but in conservative England the name "cab" remained.
Renault is ahead of everyone.
Realizing how much demand this service began to use, Renault was the first to launch the production of cars specifically for taxis. Equipping them with everything you need. And in order to make them different from other cars, the manufacturer painted them green and red. The speed of the first taxis was 20 km/h. The cabin looked like this: the passenger seats were separate from the driver and protected from the weather by the cabin. The driver also had to wear a special uniform to protect himself from rain and snow. Drivers didn't like this situation very much. They also wanted warmth and comfort. And now, for everyone's comfort, taxis with a completely closed cab appeared, where a glass partition began to separate the driver from the passengers.
Such taxis began to be purchased not only by Europe, but also by America.
The Russians also wanted to take a taxi.
Let's move on to Russia. Here, the history of the taxi began in 1907 with the man who was the first to put on his car the advertising slogan “Cab. We'll agree on a price." It happened in Moscow, at one of the stations. Since this is a place of a large accumulation of luggage and people, the service has become popular. And after 10 years, there were a lot of cars involved in carting for a fee.
As usual, the revolution of 1917 made its own adjustments. The revolutionaries recognized the taxi as an unnecessary luxury and banned it.
And only in 1924, it was decided to resume paid transportation by cars, but to take it under state control. Therefore, the Kommunkhoz of the Moscow Council in 1925 bought a small fleet of Renault and Fiat cars. Since that time, the taxi industry in Russia began to develop at a rapid pace.
Modern taxi.
Now taxi services are still developing. The struggle for customers makes us come up with more and more additional services and lower the price. Customers only benefit from such competition. Increased comfort and reduced price.
HOW THE TAXI HAS APPEARED.
We often use taxi services, and calling a taxi is the most convenient way to get around the city. But few people know how the taxi appeared and how it developed.
Taxi is an integral part of the life of any big city, and sometimes even its corporate identity. And the history of the city taxi began in ancient times with the romantic profession of coachmen and cabbies.
In the 18th century, an enterprising Frenchman founded an inn for horse-drawn carriages near the chapel of St. Fiacre, the patron saint of gardeners. The Fiacras became the world's first hired public carriages, unlike carriages that had previously belonged exclusively to nobles and landowners. Saint Fiacre is also the patron saint of taxi drivers. The symbol of St. Fiacre is a shovel, hence the expression: "Taxi drivers rake money with a shovel."
The birth of the first cars almost immediately brought to life "motor cabs". Already in 1896 (ten years after the departure of G. Daimler on his first-born, “motorless carriage”), cars of the “Automobile and Carriage Enterprise” began to run along the streets of the German city of Stuttgart. These six-seater "Daimlers" with a 4-liter engine. With. were the world's first taxis. True!, The very name "taxi" appeared a little later. In 1896, the French automobile club proclaimed that the "capital of the world" would be very suited to motorized "fiacres" - without horses. Shafts were removed from the fiacre, a gasoline engine was installed behind, and a steering column and control levers were installed near the driver's seat.
At first, the idea was not successful - they did not know at what rate to pay for the work of drivers. Invented in 1905, the counter - taximeter - calmed the controversy. From him came the name of a new type of transport - taxis or taxis. Renault was the first company to produce cars specially adapted for the taxi service. Painted in red and green, they stood out from the others, in most black cars, they were easy to recognize in the flow of traffic. The body structure was also special. Its passenger compartment resembled a closed Fiacra, and the driver, like a coachman, sat in the open front. It was believed that the driver should be separated from the passengers for their convenience and have complete freedom of vision and communication with pedestrians, drivers, policemen and other drivers. And that is true: why should the driver hear the conversations of his passengers, and the passengers - the squabble of the driver in the crush of streets crowded with cars and horse-drawn carts. The device of a taxi also influenced the appearance of drivers. They were dressed in long, waterproof, tightly buttoned leather coats and a military cap.
Motorized cabs did not become widespread immediately. At the beginning of the 20th century, the production of cars was still small, and they were considered more a luxury than a means of transportation. So, in Paris eighty years ago there were only 4 taxis!, And already in 1922 their number reached an impressive figure: 11295 pieces. Before the outbreak of the First World War, many large cities had established taxi services.
In England, the history of taxis dates back to 1639, when a cab license was established by the Coachmen's Corporation. At first they were four-wheeled carriages - they were called hackneys (hackney - traveling horse), later a more maneuverable two-wheeled open wagon appeared - a convertible or, for short, a cab.
Horse-drawn carriages were replaced by electric cabs, and in 1907 the taxi boom began, many began to develop cars specifically for use as taxis. Now there are three firms left in England that build taxi cabs (see picture) - London Taxi International, Hooper and Asquith, known for their replicas.

In London, taxis are as much a feature as Big Ben or double-decker buses. Their famous vip taxi is called a black cabriolet, at first these carriages were four-wheeled and were called hackneys, then they were made two-wheeled as a result, they became more maneuverable and began to be called a cabriolet or cab.
London taxis always painted black, in Hong Kong they use 3 types of taxi colors, most often they are painted red, green taxis are used in New Zealand, and blue ones are used in the Lantau Islands.
IN New York the first yellow taxi was released on the line on August 13, 1907, which does not prevent the Americans from trying to prove that they had taxis before everyone else, boasting is in their blood. The mafia largely helped to increase the number of taxis on the streets of the United States, it was organized crime groups that owned the majority of taxi companies and were interested in their growth. In America, there was no more reliable transport during the years of Prohibition for the transport of illicit alcohol than a taxi, which is why gangster smugglers especially fell in love with this transport. A huge amount of alcohol was transported in a taxi, but the police did not even suspect the taxi drivers. Now in the United States, taxi drivers are mostly immigrants from other countries, so they are notorious, they strive to cheat a passenger for a large amount of money. The world-famous yellow cabs - New York's yellow cabs - were discontinued in the 1980s.
In big cities Mexico unsafe, especially for the fairer sex. Therefore, several cities, including Mexico City and Puebla, have allocated money for the Pink Cabs project. These bright pink taxis are for women and women with children only. There are always three important things in the car interior: a GPS navigation system, an emergency call button and a cosmetic set
On Cuba you can see a large number of American cars from the 1950s and 1960s. Oldtimers are capable of driving more than 100 thousand kilometers and are still used as taxis. For tourists, a trip in such a car is a whole event. Often a taxi has to be shared with several passengers, whom the driver collects along the way. In this case, contact with local residents is ensured.
Taxi ride to Thailand can be a real adventure. A passenger who prefers a tuk-tuk - a three-wheeled indoor scooter - must have nerves of steel. Where the comfort of her ordinary car. Tip for tourists: before getting into a taxi, you should negotiate the price so that you don’t bite your elbows later. The monks here are on a special account: they have the right to free travel.
IN China Taxi is considered the most convenient means of transportation. There are about 70,000 taxis in Beijing alone. Many Chinese taxi drivers do not speak English, so tourists need to have a sheet of paper with the address written in Chinese ready. You should not be surprised at the presence of green tea in the cabin: without it, the taxi driver will not hit the road.
It is believed that the best taxi drivers are in Japan. Taxis have appeared there quite recently, so Japanese taxi drivers are very polite and courteous to passengers.
They work exclusively in white gloves, and change lace napkins daily on the headrests of their cars. A Japanese driver never talks to a passenger while driving, he just drives a car, and if you are a foreigner, then you can’t even count on a conversation. The trip will be calm, sometimes even boring. What else can you expect from a man in white gloves and a uniform cap?
TAXIMETER.
Taxi (from French Taximetre “price meter”, later the car itself was called so) is a means of public transport, usually a car used to transport passengers and goods to any specified point with payment for the car’s fare using a meter - a taximeter.
According to the “Handbook of motoring” for 1911, the St. Petersburg entrepreneur and car dealer S. Friede was the first to call his cars with meters to determine the fare taxis. Later, in everyday speech, this name was reduced to the short word "taxi", which has spread throughout the world.
HISTORY OF THE TAXIMETER.
Taximeters - devices that measure the distance for which a passenger must pay at the end of the journey. A counter was invented - a taximeter in 1905.
But they were known even in antediluvian times, when there were no internal combustion engines, no meters, no kilometers. Ancient taximeters were a kind of box filled with pebbles. It was installed above one of the wheels of the carriage, and when the wheel made a full turn, a special hook opened a window in the box in the upper container, from which one pebble fell into the lower container. Then the passenger paid the taxi driver according to the number of pebbles that fell out.

THE APPEARANCE OF TAXI IN RUSSIA.
In Russia, the first mention of a cab driver in a car was in 1907 in the newspaper "Voice of Moscow".
Over the next ten years, the taxi industry in large cities has developed quite rapidly. But in 1917 it ceased to exist, like many other attributes of "bourgeois life." And only in December 1924, the Moscow Council decided to purchase 200 taxi cars of the Renault and Fiat brands.
The first 15 taxis began to operate in 1925, and at first taxis were only in Moscow and Leningrad. A new page in the history of taxis in the USSR was opened in 1934, when the production of domestic GAZ-A cars began. The conveyor life of the model was short, only 4 years, but during this period the number of Soviet taxis increased by more than six times.
In 1948, distinctive signs were introduced for taxis: a checkerboard strip along the sides of the body and a light signal - a green light, which means that the taxi is free. The Volga era, which continues to this day, opened with the “twenty-first” model in 1957.
In pre-revolutionary Russia, all railways intersected in Moscow. A large number of people arrived and departed, which created the need for the development of urban transport, which could take passengers and their luggage to the place. The demand for transport was great, so a huge number of cabbies appeared in Moscow. This industry was developing, and it needed certain requirements: tariffs, a system for ordering crews, organizing parking lots. All this marked the beginning of the birth of a taxi in Russia as a mode of transport.
In 1907, a driver appeared who attached to his car a poster "Cab driver, fare by agreement." Around the same time, the first taxis appeared on the streets of London, which were equipped with devices - taximeters, these devices greatly surprised the locals. This year is now considered the birthday of the taxi.
After the revolution, the number of taxis in Moscow dropped sharply, only in 1924 the Moscow Council decided to purchase 200 new cars - taxis of the prestigious Renault and Fiat brands. In 1925, the first 16 Renault cars began to be used on the streets of Moscow. Private taxis did not exist at that time, they all belonged to the state, therefore, there was no competition. This led to a poor quality of passenger service, even ordering a taxi was very difficult, since the ordering service was very poorly established. For the government of Moscow taxi Moscow was very profitable, so they sought to eliminate these shortcomings.
During the period from 1907 to 1917, many such cab drivers appeared on the streets of Moscow. The new service industry developed very actively until the taxi was recognized by the revolutionaries as "excessive luxury." After that, for 8 years, no one was engaged in transportation by cars. In 1925, it was decided to start using this type of transportation again for the needs of the population.
The Kommunkhoz of the Moscow Soviet bought new Renaults and Fiats, set fixed prices for taxi services, and the taxi industry began to develop again. For a long time, taxis could only be found on the streets of Moscow and Leningrad, and the entire taxi fleet of the country did not exceed several hundred cars. Absolutely all transportation was controlled by the state, and the concept of competition in this service sector simply did not exist. In 1936, emki appeared and the taxi became a truly mass means of transportation. In less than 15 years, in 1950, more than 2 thousand taxis worked in Moscow in total, in 10 years this number more than doubled, and by the beginning of the 60s, 4.5 thousand cars were driving around the capital with checkered. By the way, the checkers to designate a taxi were introduced only in 1948, and the “light”, which made it possible to determine whether a taxi driver is free or busy, was introduced in 1949.
Around this time, the first GAZ cars appeared in Moscow as a result, the number of Soviet taxis increased 6 times, then they began to produce ZIS passenger taxis, after the appearance of which, ordering a taxi in Moscow became publicly available to the majority of people. In the post-war years, the Gorky Plant began to produce Pobeda cars, which became the main taxi car. In 1948, it was decided to introduce taxi insignia from other cars, they were placed a checkerboard strip and a light signal.
After privatization in Russia, the state monopoly on the provision of taxi services was lost, and many private taxis appeared. For a long time this market remained semi-legal. Closer to 2000, the situation in the field of transportation by taxi improved - organizations appeared that provide the population with such services at fixed rates, with an acceptable level of service. Since then, there has been a regular increase in the number of players in this market, and the quality of services provided has been improving.

HISTORY OF TAXI OF THE CITY OF RIGA.
The first cars were brought to Riga in 1896 from Paris. Therefore, by 1907 they were very rare. In 1910, there were only 88 cars in all of Vidzeme. However, they were already gaining popularity: in 1907, the first races were held at the hippodrome, and since 1908, G. Talberg’s cars began to be transported over ice across the Daugava in winter, in 1909 J. Beckmann and his 12-seater car took up this.
The first taxis of I. Feitelberg's company stood near the Rim Hotel and, later, on the contrary, near the German Theater (now the Latvian National Opera). The main taxi stand remained there for a very long time. Oddly enough, Riga taxis were no different from other cars.

Taxi drivers worked 24 hours and then rested the same amount.
During the war, the government requisitioned all private cars, but after the war, when the cars were given away, taxi business improved again. Between 1925 and 1928 the number of taxis in Riga increased from 238 to 618. True, during the crisis of the 1930s, their number decreased again and by 1939 there were only 394 taxis. Cars were often broken by competitors, as a taxi ride was too expensive for the average person, and there were few customers.
After the Second World War, taxi traffic began in 1947 with 10 captured DKW vehicles. Founded in 1948, the Riga Taxi Park bought 40 Pobedas.
