"welcome aboard of ..." is not grammatically correct.

Even though is not suitable, but how about "welcome aboard" ?

@dan Isn't it "Welcome to take *my* taxi"? Also you might find this reddit thread interesting https://www.reddit.com/r/EnglishLearning/comments/8nxxcm/is_welcome_to_take_my_taxi_grammatically_correct/ - one comment says: *However, American taxi drivers are often English Learners as well, so while it's not correct, it is potentially something you would hear from a friendly taxi driver.*

@user3306356 taxi cars are  owned by a company, hence it's *our taxi*.

I don't know how to make it sound native and convey all the connotation. The meaning behind 欢迎乘坐我们的出租车 is "Thank you for taking our taxi, and we'll appreciate your next coming."

What's wrong by using the good old greeting :Good morning/afternoon/evening". 
Mainland China has a strange habit of making simple manner ridiculous.

# How to translate 欢迎乘坐我们的出租车！

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-07-13)

欢迎乘坐我们的出租车！is an idiomatic Chinese sentence. When a passenger enters a taxi, the driver can use it as a greeting. By word-for-word translation,

> 欢迎: welcome (to)
>
> 乘坐: take
>
> 我们的: our
>
> 出租车: taxi

To make it a sentence: *Welcome to take our taxi!*. But from the English perspective, *Welcome to take our taxi!* is a wrong sentence. So, I have some difficulty to turn that Chinese sentence into English.

By the way, some cabs in Shanghai have a machine installed. When a customer enters the car, it will play the utterance: *Welcome to take our taxi!*. It just sounds ugly to an English native's ear.

Any suggestions?
