Oof, soon this is going to be a dad joke primarily because only dads are going to remember why it's a pun.

To "hail a taxi" is to wave, shout, or otherwise catch the attention of a cab that is rolling down the street looking for customers. It's like requesting a Lyft/Uber, except that you don't need a smartphone, and you don't have to wait.
