Crossword Genius

Army team transport (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taxi

'transport' is the definition.
(taxi is a kind of transport)

'army team' is the wordplay.
'army' becomes 'ta' (abbreviation for Territorial Army).
'team' becomes 'xi' (eleven, a football team).
'ta'+'xi'='TAXI'

(Other definitions for taxi that I've seen before include "Cab for hire" , "Hackney cab" , "Part of fleet" , "(Of a plane) move slowly on the ground" , "people carrier?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
