How it's used

Commonly referred to as GogoVan or Lalamove in modern contexts, as these apps have become the standard way to book this type of vehicle. It is specifically used for carrying goods or bulky items rather than just passengers, distinguishing it from a taxi or private car. The term implies a vehicle that is smaller than a full size truck but larger than a standard passenger car.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with a standard taxi, as drivers of these vehicles are generally not permitted to carry passengers who are not accompanying goods. Attempting to use one as a regular taxi is technically against transport regulations.
