What is the difference between a shuttle and a taxi?

The difference between a shuttle and a taxi centers on service model and exclusivity. A taxi offers a private, on-demand ride directly to your destination, charged by a meter or fixed fare. A shuttle is typically a shared-ride service, charging a fixed, lower rate per person but making multiple stops and often requiring a wait. At LAX, both taxis and shared-ride shuttles pick up from the centralized LAX-it lot.
