Hackney carriage
A hackney or hackney carriage is a carriage or automobile for hire. A hackney of a more expensive or high class was called a remise.

In the United States, the police department of the city of Boston has a Hackney Carriage Unit, analogous to taxicab regulators in other cities, that issues Hackney Carriage medallions to its taxi operators.
