Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Taxi is masculine in French. While it is indeed derived from "taximètre," the primary reason for its masculine gender is that it comes from the English word "taxi," which itself is short for "taxicab." In French, words borrowed from English that end in a consonant or unstressed vowel typically adopt masculine gender by default. The word has been fully adopted into French as a masculine noun.
