One can find two kinds of taxis in Macau.  One type has a black body (also called the Big Black Taxi similar to the Big Yellow Taxi of New York) and the other one is colored yellow.  Unfortunately, not all taxi drivers in Macau understand other languages.  To solve the language barrier for English speaking or Chinese speaking guests, the Macau government (specifically the Tourism Office of Macau) started providing English and Chinese speaking guides that are stationed near the taxi stands at the airport or at the terminal.  These guides or destination guides ask the foreign passengers where they are heading and then gives directions to the taxi drivers in local tongue.  This kind of service is also offered during times when major events are being held in Macau like the Macau Grand Prix.
