The Taxi Driver is a mysterious character, or charatcers in the series lets look at all the times he is mentioned:
First The Reptile Room page's 40-41:
"I am not going to give you a tip because you talk to much, not everyone wants to hear about your new baby" -Sephano to the Taxi driver that drove Olaf to Montgomry's home. (See quote from the unauthorized autobiography.)
The next one is in the Wide Window page 9:
"The cab driver was a skinny man with a skinny cigarette hanging out of his mouth" (see quote from the Penultimate Peril)
Next is in the Slippery Slope page 118:
"...When visiting Thailand to interview a Taxi Driver"
Next in the Grim Grotto page 40:
" 'A certain Taxi Driver managed to smuggle these charts to me' Captain Widdershins said."
And then of course in the Penultimate Peril on page's 244-251
"The children felt a shadow over them, and looked up to see a tall, SKINNY figure standing over them. In the darkness the children could not see any of his features, only the glowing tip of a skinny CIGARETTE in his mouth. 'Do you three need a taxi?' he asked, and gestured to the automobile that had brought Justice Strauss and Jerome Squalor to the entrance of the hotel.
The siblings looked at one another, and then squinted up at the man. The children thought perhaps his voice was familiar, but it might just have been his unfathomable tone....(not relevant for a while) I do know who the man was. and I do know where he went afterwards, and I do know the name of the woman who was hiding in the trunk, and the type of musical instrument that was laid carefully in the back seat, and the ingredients of the sandwich tucked into the glove compartment, and even the small item that sat on the passenger seat, still damp from it hiding place."
Also in the 13 shocking secrets it says that in The Reptile Room a important taxi driver passes unnoticed.
And last but not least (assuming there is a least) Lemony Snicket:The Unauthorized Autobiography.
Page 107 "Taxi Driver disguise: Photographs of new baby to show to passengers. "
From what I can see the Taxi Driver is a common VFD disguise, after all Kit Snicket first met the Baudelaire's while sitting in a Taxi and later driving it. One or more of them could be the same person villainous or noble,
