Express Car Service
The Express Car Service, also known as Roman's Taxi Depot, is a taxi depot located in Broker (on the intersection between Cisco Street and Iroquois Street) owned by Roman Bellic in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Description
The building may first be seen in the mission The Cousins Bellic, when the player may drive pass the depot as they leave East Hook and enter Hove Beach. The depot is gritty in appearance, with an office (seen in several cutscenes) and a garage located in the building. Taxi drivers can be seen repairing Roman's Taxi fleet in the garage.
The building is burned down by the Russian Mafia under orders of Dimitri Rascalov in the mission Roman's Sorrow. Roman opens a new taxi depot in Algonquin, although the location is not revealed, and will eventually use Cavalcades in place of Roman's Taxi as taxi vehicles. After the player obtains a high enough friendship level with Roman, Niko Bellic can call Roman for a taxi. Niko's taxi missions are unavalible after the building is burned down.
Evidently, it was burned down by a pair of people (presumably Russian gangsters) throwing Molotov Cocktails into the depot, as reported by Weazel News from witness reports.
By 2009, in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the Hove Beach taxi depot is repaired.
