Habla de diferentes medios de transporte, y es un texto de Nueva York. He leído que son taxis que sólo responden a llamadas, pero no sé si dejarlo como en el original o si los hispanos de allí le dan otro nombre.

Reference:
Gypsy Cabs=taxi ilegal/ sin licencia
Gypsy Cabs: These are private cars that roam the city looking for fares. Gypsy cabs are run by individuals who use their own cars. In recent years, gypsy cab companies with radio dispatched drivers have begun operating. These services are all illegal and you should avoid using them. The level of service is generally poor and getting into a gypsy cab can be dangerous.

Paula, mírate el link de abajo que te resultará útil. Si puedes usar un término coloquial, yo votaría por "taxi pirata", de lo contrario "taxi ilegal". ¡Suerte!
This term is common throughout the Spanish-speaking world, but is recorded here because of its entrance into the everyday vernacular of Los Angeles and other communities.
