EN: Fare for a taxi; Money for a taxi
This is your 'pamasahe' but specifically for a taxi. It's the budget you set aside for that Grab or taxi ride when you're running late for work, or when it's raining cats and dogs and the MRT is packed like a can of sardines. 'Ma, pahingi ng **pantaksi**, male-late na ako!'
From `pan-` (for, intended for) + `taksi` (taxi), from English 'taxi'.
ROOT MEANING: taxi, taxicab
A colloquial term formed using a standard Filipino word-formation pattern. While understandable, 'pamasahe sa taxi' is more common.
