What is the English word for the following phrase " A motorcycle driver takes passengers to somewhere and gets money from them "- What's his job- the job in Vietnam.
Thank you.

Motorcycle cab driver, I guess. I don't think too many English-speaking countries have those, so I don't know if there is actually a specific term for it.

You are on the right track Uriel. The internet mentions "motorcycle taxi" and "motorcycle taxi driver" but they are most common in Pakistan, India and Southeast Asian countries.
