In many countries (especialy developing countries) the main system for public transport involves share taxis. They are of various vehicle types, including minibuses, midibuses, covered pickup trucks, station wagons or lorries. This mode of transport falls between the private mode and the conventional bus transport system, with the convenience of stopping anywhere to pick or drop passengers, etc. Share taxis often have unfixed time schedules.[1] A developing country is a country with low average income compared to the world average. ...

A sharetaxi is a mode of transport that falls between private transport and conventional bus transport, with a fixed route, but the convenience of stopping anywhere to pick or drop passengers, etc. Sharetaxis often have unfixed time schedules.
Sharetaxis are an important form of mobility (and job creation) in many parts of the world but are by and large poorly understood and not well integrated into the overall transportation projects of cities and regions.
In Quebecsharetaxis or jitneys are called "taxis collectifs" [8] (in English "collective taxis" [9]) or "Transport collectif par taxi" [10]} (in English "Taxibus" [11]) and are operated by subcontractors to the local transit authorities [12] [13] [14] [15] on fixed routes.
