Calcutta - Taxi Taxi Taxi - was created in 1998.

The company's taxi: yes

The private taxi: no

"Taxi" is the same in both English and Spanish. "Por taxi" would be "by taxi".

"A taxi" uses the indefinite article "a," so "a taxi" could refer to any taxi. "The taxi" uses the definite article "the," and therefore it refers to a specific taxi.

Examples:

"I will take a taxi to the airport." -- This means you do not yet know exactly which taxi you will take.

"I will take the taxi to the airport." -- This means there is a particular taxi that you plan to use, such as the one across the street, taxi #34, the taxi that you have already requested to come pick you up, etc.
