Transport is provided, thanks to team (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taxi

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

'transport' is the definition.
(I know that taxi is a type of transport)

'thanks to team' is the wordplay.
'thanks' becomes 'ta' (UK informal version of 'thank you').
'to team' becomes 'XI' (a football team, from Roman numerals for 11).
'ta'+'xi'='TAXI'

'is provided' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taxi that I've seen before include "Motor vehicle by rank?" , "(Plane) roll over tarmac" , "people carrier?" , "use apron" , "Part of fleet" .)
