not a lot of info here to go on was it the driver or a passenger I know it says "his taxi": but do they mean the one he owns/rents or the one he has hired ?

'His taxi' certainly could be construed as meaning the taxi he was occupying as a passenger rather than one he was driving.

But in the absence of anything else suggesting that he might have simply been a passenger, my money would be on him being the driver.
