Flying Taxi
The Flying Taxi (Japanese: そらとぶタクシー Flying Taxi) is a form of public transportation service in Galar provided by the Galar Taxi (Japanese: ガラル交通 Galar Transport) company. These taxis are carriages pulled by Corviknight and piloted by a Cabbie. After attending the opening ceremony for the Gym Challenge in Motostoke Stadium, the player is granted access to them by a League Staff member. After this, the player can access the Taxi from the Town Map or Habitat screen of the Pokédex, free of charge.
In addition to the Flying Taxi the player regularly uses, there is a local Flying Taxi in Wyndon located in front of the Rose of the Ronderlands Hotel and Wyndon Stadium. This taxi will take the player to and from the two aforementioned locations, the Monorail Station, and after becoming Champion, the Battle Tower as well.

Like Fly and its other counterparts, the Flying Taxi typically takes the player to that given area's Pokémon Center.

The Flying Taxi service has a recurring role throughout the miniseries.
It debuted in Letter, where Rose and Oleana used it to travel from Wyndon Stadium to a children's hospital and then back.
In Training, Bea traveled to the Wild Area in a Flying Taxi. However, she accidentally left her smartphone in the taxicab, which prevented her from calling for help when she and her Pokémon were trapped in a cave. The cab reappeared at the end of the episode, where the Cabbie driving it returned the phone to Bea.
In Buddy, Milo called the service so it could return Hop's runaway Wooloo. The cab was then used to take Hop and Wooloo home after they reunited.
In Early-Evening Waves, Nessa took a Flying Taxi to go to Rose's office and then to Wyndon Stadium.
In Assistant, Chairman Rose spotted Oleana from the sky and picked Oleana up and took a Flying Taxi together while heading back to his office.
In Moonlight, Allister and Tommy took a Flying Taxi to go to the hospital where John is staying so that Tommy can apologize and amend his friendship with John.
In Sky, all of the children from the hospital took a Flying Taxi to Wyndon Stadium for one of Leon's matches. John took a Flying Taxi late, having overslept for Leon's match. He spotted Leon getting lost on a mountain on the way and picked him up. However, they were forced to proceed on foot in order to make it to the match in time. The next day, Victor and Gloria approached the Flying Taxi, requesting for a ride.
In The Gathering of Stars, Leon took a Flying Taxi all across the Galar region to hand out invitation letters for the Galarian Star Tournament.
