[{"role": "system", "content": "A taxicab, also known as a taxi or a cab, is a type of vehicle for hire with a driver, used by a single passenger or small group of passengers, often for a non-shared ride. A taxicab conveys passengers between locations of their choice. This differs from other modes of public transport where the pick-up and drop-off locations are determined by the service provider, not by the passenger, although demand responsive transport and share taxis provide a hybrid bus/taxi mode. There are four distinct forms of taxicab, which can be identified by slightly differing terms in different countries:  Although types of vehicles and methods of regulation, hiring, dispatching, and negotiating payment differ significantly from country to country, many common characteristics exist. Harry Nathaniel Allen of The New York Taxicab Company, who imported the first 600 gas-powered New York City taxicabs from France in 1907, borrowed the word \"taxicab\" from London, where the word was in use by early 1907. \"Taxicab\" is a compound word formed from contractions of \"taximeter\" and \"cabriolet\". \"Taximeter\" is an adaptation of the German word \"taxameter\", which was itself a variant of the earlier German word \"Taxanom\".\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "My dad drove a taxi in the 70s and conveyed passengers between locations."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I bet that was a fun job, I wonder how taxi cabs got started"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Harry NAthaniel Allen coined the word \"taxicab\" in the early 1900s"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Oh wow, so it has been around for a while now, I love how they are so easy to spot being bright yellow and all!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well the ones in New York City are yellow and some are green!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Green!
