For transport, take the Central Line to Acton Central! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taxis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for transport take' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'central line to acton central' is the wordplay.
'central line' becomes 'axis' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'central' says to take the centre.
The centre of 'acton' is 't'.
'axis' put after 't' is 'TAXIS'.

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taxis that I've seen before include "Cars with a driver for hire" , "Cabs" , "return to right place" .)
