Cabby

For the Checker Cab-based taxi from previous GTA games, see Cabbie.

The Schyster Cabby is one of three yellow taxi models in Grand Theft Auto IV, based on the in-game non-commercial Vapid Minivan. It resembles a fourth generation Dodge Caravan or Chrysler Voyager; though it should be noted that most New York City Taxi minivans use the Toyota Sienna as their base.

Design

While the vehicle bears a Schyster badge rather than that of Vapid, the rear of the vehicle reads on the left side Minivan Cabby, and on the right side Limited Vapid designed. It differs from the Minivan only in braking and suspension, as described below, and in its fleet markings.

Performance

The Cabby, based on the Minivan, retains the same 24V V6, 4 speed gearbox and RWD layout, leading to slow acceleration and a poor top speed. The suspension has been slightly upgraded to cope with Algonquin's rough roads, and handles much better than its civilian counterpart. The brakes have also had a slight upgrade, giving the Cabby a shorter stopping distance. ABS brakes are still standard. Accident deformation and engine build quality remain acceptable.

Locations

Unlike the two other Taxi models in GTA IV, the Schyster Cabby is only seen driving throughout Algonquin and is rarely found in Broker, Dukes, Bohan, or Alderney.

Found in almost every district in Algonquin (there are quite a few in Star Junction).
Rarely seen in Broker, Dukes, or Bohan

Trivia

In GTA IV, the three default radio stations in the Cabby are Integrity 2.0, WKTT Radio and PLR.
