Cable car for hire, with driver? (3)
I believe the answer is:
cab
'cable car' is the definition.
'cab' can be an answer for 'car' (cab is a kind of car). I'm not certain of the 'cable' bit.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cab that I've seen before include "'The authority collects money made from crime, initially (3)'" , "Taxi to hold an engine-driver" , "It has the authority to confiscate the proceeds of crime, in short" , "A taxi in New York" , "Organisation to collect money made from crime" .)
