Arabic word for "Sammeltaxi"/ "group taxi"

Trudi · 05-04-2005, 10:26 AM

I´m travelling to Egypt next week and was recommended to take a Sammeltaxi. How is it called in Arabic? A taxi which carries an unspecified number of guests and which usually is very cheap.

Thanks for helping me.

Hi,
I just asked an Egyptian friend about it, and she said that they have ordinary taxis, and those group taxis were used long time ago..

I wonder what the one who told you about that meant :-)
