Where one was advised to take a taxi? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cab

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

This might be a double definition.

'where one was advised' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'a taxi?' is the second definition.
(I know that cab can be written as cab)

'to take' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cab that I've seen before include "Driving compartment" , "'The authority collects money made from crime, initially (3)'" , "Organisation to collect money made from crime" , "A taxi in America" , "Hired car" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
