Taxi Driver

Overview

Taxi Driver is an optional side activity open to Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton and Trevor Philips. Instead of riding as a passenger, the player holds the enter button to pull the driver out of a Taxi, then starts the job with the dedicated button. Fares are generated across Los Santos and Blaine County, and the player drives each one to its destination. The activity is separate from the Private Taxi Fares Franklin receives after buying the Downtown Cab Co. depot, which are scripted VIP jobs.

Walkthrough

3. Drive to the marked pickup and wait for the passenger to get in.
4. Follow the GPS to the drop-off, driving safely and quickly.
5. Collect the fare and tip, then accept the next job or switch the job off.
