fixed route taxis and regular taxis
I looked at various tourist websites for Valparaiso and this is how they describe the two systems.
Example sentence:
We are very close to the major bus routes, trolleys (trams), colectivos (fixed route taxis) and a few hundred mertres from the Metro (modern electric train.)

Standard / Tourist taxis (cabs)
7,340 Google Advanced Search hits for ‘tourist taxis’. Many are also translations (obviously?) but far from all.
As a Brit speaker I would prefer 'standard' to the US term 'regular' or 'basic.'
