+__NOTOC__
-The '''Taxi Side Mission''' is a side mission involving the player driving passengers to specific locations within the city using one of the many ingame taxis. The side mission is triggered by entering a taxi and pressing the R3 button.
+The '''Taxi Driver''' side mission requires the player to drive passengers to specific locations within a time limit for a cash reward. The side mission is triggered by entering a taxi and pressing the side mission button.
-==GTA 2==
+In the [[GTA III era]] games the player can earn money by delivering pedestrians to their predetermined destination within a time limit. Starting the mission lights up the taxi's roof-mounted taxi sign encouraging nearby pedestrians to flag the player's taxi down. Once a pedestrian enters the vehicle, the destination is displayed on screen and is marked by a blip on the radar and a colored marker at the destination itself. The alloted time given is calculated roughly from the distance to the destination, and an additional 30 seconds is granted upon completing a fare to find another one. If the player runs out of time, exits the vehicle or damages their vehicle too badly, the passenger will flee, ending the mission. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]] the taxi side mission has much less strict time limits, but adds a "tip meter" which rewards players for delivering fares quickly and safely and punishes them for driving recklessly or taking too long.
-In [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], the player could drive around in a taxi and pick up pedestrian. There was no set destination or time limits, the passenger would exit the vehicle randomly when the car was stopped.
