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.
GTA 2
In Grand Theft Auto 2, the player could drive around in a taxi and pick up pedestriant. There was no set destination or time limits, the passenger would exit the vehicle randomly when the car was stopped.
GTA III era
In the GTA III era 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. 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 has too many accidents or damages their vehicle too badly, the passenger will flee, ending the mission. In 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.
GTA IV
In GTA IV, Niko Bellic can perform the taxi side mission by phoning Roman Bellic for fares.
