This BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) diagram sample shows the taxi order process workflow.
"Business process modeling (BPM) in systems engineering is the activity of representing processes of an enterprise, so that the current process may be analyzed and improved. BPM is typically performed by business analysts and managers who are seeking to improve process efficiency and quality. The process improvements identified by BPM may or may not require information technology involvement, although that is a common driver for the need to model a business process, by creating a process master. Business process modeling results in the improvement of the way tasks performed by the business. They can pick up errors or cons about the way processes are currently being performed and model an improved way of carrying out these processes." [Business process modeling. Wikipedia]

"Driving is the controlled operation and movement of a vehicle, such as a car, carriage, truck or bus. ...
Driving as a physical skill.
A driver must have physical skills to be able to control direction, acceleration, and deceleration. For motor vehicles, the detailed tasks include:
(1) Starting the vehicle's engine with the starting system.
(2) Setting the transmission to the correct gear.
(3) Depressing the pedals with one's feet to accelerate, slow, and stop the vehicle, and if the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, to modulate the clutch.
(4) Steering the vehicle's direction with the steering wheel.
(5) Operating other important ancillary devices such as the indicators, headlights, and windshield wipers.
(6) Observing the environment for hazards." [Driving. Wikipedia]

"A business process or business method is a collection of related, structured activities or tasks that produce a specific service or product (serve a particular goal) for a particular customer or customers. It often can be visualized with a flowchart as a sequence of activities with interleaving decision points or with a Process Matrix as a sequence of activities with relevance rules based on data in the process. ...
There are three types of business processes:
(1) Management processes, the processes that govern the operation of a system. Typical management processes include "corporate governance" and "strategic management".
(2) Operational processes, processes that constitute the core business and create the primary value stream. Typical operational processes are purchasing, manufacturing, advertising and marketing, and sales.
(3) Supporting processes, which support the core processes. Examples include accounting, recruitment, call center, technical support. ...
The ... improvement areas are equally applicable to policies, processes and detailed procedures (sub-processes/ tasks). There is a cascading effect of improvements made at a higher level on those made at a lower level.
For instance, if a recommendation to replace a given policy with a better one is made with proper justification and accepted in principle by business process owners, then corresponding changes in the consequent processes and procedures will follow naturally in order to enable implementation of the policies" [Business process.

"A taxicab, also known as a taxi or a cab, is a type of vehicle for hire with a driver, used by a single passenger or small group of passengers often for a non-shared ride. A taxicab conveys passengers between locations of their choice. In modes of public transport, the pick-up and drop-off locations are determined by the service provider, not by the passenger, although demand responsive transport and share taxis provide a hybrid bus/ taxi mode.
There are four distinct forms of taxicab, which can be identified by slightly differing terms in different countries:
(1) Hackney carriages also known as public hire, hailed or street taxis, licensed for hailing throughout communities.
(2) Private hire vehicles, also known as minicabs or private hire taxis, licensed for pre-booking only.
(3) Taxibuses, also known as Jitneys, operating on pre-set routes typified by multiple stops and multiple independent passengers.
(4) Limousines, specialized vehicle licensed for operation by pre-booking.
Although types of vehicles and methods of regulation, hiring, dispatching, and negotiating payment differ significantly from country to country, many common characteristics exist." [Taxicab. Wikipedia]
