Crossword Genius

Cheers team transport (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taxi

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

'cheers team' is the wordplay.
'cheers' becomes 'ta' (I've seen this in other clues).
'team' becomes 'xi' (eleven, a football team).
'ta'+'xi'='TAXI'

(Other definitions for taxi that I've seen before include "Minicab" , "Danny DeVito sitcom" , "Hackney cab" , "Handgun" , "people carrier?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
