taxi dispatch station
A facility coordinating and controlling taxi services, at a company base or a field location such as an airport.
A taxi dispatch station is a facility dedicated to the coordination and control of taxi service, usually for a particular taxi company. It may be located at the company's headquarters or in the field, especially at places like airports where many taxis are required.
The dispatch function coordinates taxi service rather than merely providing a place to wait. It commonly serves one company but need not be at that company's headquarters.
A field station can perform the same coordination where demand is concentrated. Airport locations are examples rather than an exclusive setting.
