Transport, thanks to the team (4)
I believe the answer is:
taxi
'transport' is the definition.
(taxi is a kind of transport)
'thanks to the team' is the wordplay.
'thanks' becomes 'ta' (UK informal version of 'thank you').
'to the team' becomes 'xi' (eleven, a football team).
'ta'+'xi'='TAXI'
(Other definitions for taxi that I've seen before include "Car for hire" , "people carrier?" , "Vehicle that plies for hire" , "(Of a plane) move slowly on the ground" , "Part of fleet" .)
