Cabbie
The Cabbie is one of the two taxis featured in GTA III era games (See also: Taxi). It is inspired by 1956-1982 Checker Cabs. The Cabbie is generally slower and heavier than the Taxi, and has inferior handling.
In Grand Theft Auto III, the Cabbie has a series of black and white squares running in a line from the front to the rear of the car.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, it is the most common taxi. Vice City also features an operational taxi service, taking a formerly wasted or busted player to the last mission trigger.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the cabbie is back again, being virtually the same as the previous ones, but completely lacking any stripes or markings.
Trivia
- Completing the Kaufman Cabs asset in GTA Vice City unlocks the special Zebra Cab - a souped-up Cabbie.
