Transport moved along accepting fare (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gondola

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

'moved along accepting fare' is the wordplay.
'moved' is an anagram indicator.
'accepting' indicates putting letters inside.
'fare' becomes 'do' ('do' can be a synonym of 'fare').
'along' anagrammed gives 'gonla'.
'gonla' enclosing 'do' is 'GONDOLA'.

(Other definitions for gondola that I've seen before include "Traditional rowboat of Venice" , "Shop unit" , "mountain climber" , "Venice craft" , "It's traditionally used on the canals of Venice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Sun.
