The '''Bickle '76''', or '''Bickle'76''' in-game, is a supercharged [[Taxi]] featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. It is never seen being driven in the streets — it is only available once the player completes 100 [[Taxi Side Missions|taxi fares]], whereupon it can be found outside [[Mean Street Taxis]] in [[Trenton]], [[Portland Island]]. Once the player is driving the Bickle '76, it will respawn at Mean Street Taxis again. It is the only "unique" taxi not based on a [[Cabbie]]. | The '''Bickle '76''', or '''Bickle'76''' in-game, is a supercharged [[Taxi]] featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]].

The Bickle '76 is visually distinguishable by its red paintjob, supercharger, solid grille (as opposed to the standard 'egg-crate' grille seen on regular Taxis), and the pair of fluffy dice hanging from its rear view mirror. Occasionally, this vehicle will spawn without a taxi sign on the roof, resulting in a much sportier look. The name of the taxi is taken from Travis Bickle, the lead character of the 1976 Martin Scorsese film [[wikipedia:Taxi Driver|''Taxi Driver'']], | The Bickle '76 is visually distinguishable by its red paintjob, supercharger, solid grille (as opposed to the standard 'egg-crate' grille seen on regular Taxis), and the pair of fluffy dice hanging from its rear view mirror.
