Israel
There are two taxi systems in Israel, with one operating in service to Israelis and one operating in service to Arabs. Each taxi system is restricted in terms of the locations and passengers they may serve, and can be distinguished by the ha of their cabs, with the former being white and the latter being orange. Although fares are officially meter-based, it is quite uncommon to have the meter run and the vast majority of trip fares are conditionally presented by the drivers and either summarily accepted, negotiated or denied by the traveler. Share taxis are also a very popular form of transport.
