A motorcycle taxi is a licensed form of transport in some countries. The taxi carries one passenger, and sometimes two or more who ride as the pillion, behind the motorcycle operator Locally known as xe ôm, this lightweight mode of transportation is one of the most popular in Vietnam. In this video I whilst I was waiting for the bus to the Airport the motorcycle driver kept saying to me it was cheaper and quicker for me to jump on his motorcycle to the airport. I hope you find the video funny, as I was trying to explain that I rather take the public bus to the Airport. He some how got me to take the motorcycle taxi. It surpasses buses when it comes to speed and mobility. Passengers can get a ride simply by waving at passing operators. One can find drivers who usually gather at public places such as schools, markets, hospitals and bus or train stations. Even for on the intersection of the intercity highway.
