"I drive a taxi./I am a taxi cap."

[Odessa Dawn]

When someone asks: What do you do?

I drive a taxi.
I am a taxi cap.

Are both answers good?

 

[Raymott]

Where did you get "taxi cap" from? I've never heard it.
A taxi is a taxi cab.

 

[Odessa Dawn]

Thank you. I misspelled it for cab.

No, if you say "I am a taxi cab" you are saying you are the car.

I am a taxi driver.
I drive a taxi.

 

[teechar]

or, I'm a cab driver.
