👉 The term "taxi-infection" is not a standard medical or scientific phrase, but it can be understood as a metaphorical or colloquial way to describe the rapid and widespread transmission of an infectious disease through informal transportation networks, such as taxis. In this context, "taxi" refers to the vehicles used for short-distance travel, often in urban areas, where passengers are seated and can easily interact with multiple people. When an infected individual rides a taxi, they can potentially transmit the pathogen to other passengers who may not have been exposed before, especially if the taxi is not frequently cleaned or if hygiene practices are inadequate. This mode of transmission can accelerate the spread of infections, particularly in densely populated cities where taxis are a common and reliable form of transport.
