Taxi: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:29, 12 May 2008

The Taxi is a four door sedan featured, in some form or other, in all of the games in the series so far. The taxi is often one of the most common vehicles on the road and, from GTA III onwards, can be used to start the taxi sub-mission.

The Taxi is usually based on the same model as the Police car. In GTA III, it resembles a cross between a late model Chevrolet Caprice and Ford Crown Victoria (it sports design elements of both) while in GTA Vice City it is a Ford LTD lookalike. In GTA San Andreas the Taxi is based on the Premier, which is mid-nineties Chevrolet Caprice.

In the taxi sub-mission, the player can earn money by delivering pedestrians to their predetermined stop within a time limit. If the player has too many accidents or damages their vehicle too badly, the passenger will flee, ending the mission. In GTA San Andreas the taxi sub-mission has a less strict time limit, 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, can be found in the Downtown District of Anywhere City and can't be used to start taxi missions. It gives the Double Damage power-up when crushed.
