The Taxi drivers in GTA III and GTA Vice City are mostly immigrants and usually run away if you steal their Taxi. However, you may encounter a driver who will fight for his cab. He then tries running after the player driving the cab (usually wielding baseball bats or shovels), then if they manage to catch the player. the driver will engage in a one on one brawl with the player for stealing their taxi. However, if the player points a gun at the driver, but does not shoot, the driver will throw his hands up, usually saying good things to the player to prevent the player from shooting, then walk away and forget about the taxi. You can usually hear the cab driver saying "Hey my cab!" or "Give me my taxi, bitch!" in a Middle Eastern accent. Throughout GTA San Andreas, the taxi drivers have not really evolved, and are still immigrants. If the player hits the taxi vehicle in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], the driver will most likely exit the vehicle and either stand there or come after the player and attack them. For unknown reasons, the taxis and cabbies are usually one of the most common vehicles that are chased by the police. In GTA Liberty City Stories, the drivers are also immigrants but most are probably Indians, as evidenced when the player enters a taxi and Radio Del Mundo will play. Most taxi drivers in GTA San Andreas may like talk shows as when the player enter their taxi, WCTR will play. | The Taxi drivers in GTA III and GTA Vice City are mostly immigrants and usually run away if you steal their Taxi.

The taxi drivers in GTA IV are even ruder and more ill-tempered. Most of the cabbies are Greek, as indicated by the "Malaka!" or "Stupid Malaka!" insult they shout when you crash into them (Greek term for "wanker"). This is further reinforced with the occasional yell of "To Hades with you, Malaka!" Hades is, in Greek Mythology, the land of the dead. Occasionally, following a traffic accident, they will exit their cab and attempt to pull you out of your car and start a fight. If this occurs when a police officer is nearby, or if they are near a [[Police Cruiser]], they will take immediate action, arresting the driver and taking them away. | The taxi drivers in GTA IV are even ruder and more ill-tempered.
