Taxi Driver pays you to deliver passengers in a taxi. Get into a taxi and press L and R together, find a pedestrian to pick up, and drive them to the marked destination before the timer ends. You need 100 fares in total for the stats screen, and they can be spread over several sessions.
How it works
Press the L and R buttons together in a taxi to start. The message “Look for a fare” appears, and you drive around until a pedestrian climbs in. The destination is shown as a pink blip on the radar and a marker at the place itself. No name is shown, so rely on the radar.
The time you get depends roughly on the distance. When you drop a passenger off, you get two extra minutes to find the next fare. The message “Deliver passenger to destination” shows while a fare is in the car.
Rewards
Each fare pays cash; a completed fare on screen shows $265. After 50 fares a Borgnine cab appears at your Portland safehouse. Keep going to 100 for full credit on the stats screen.
Tips
- You can stop the job with L and R at any time without losing the fares you have already finished.
- Keep the taxi in good shape. If it is too damaged, the passenger runs off and the job ends. A Pay ‘n’ Spray detour is worth it before that happens.
- If you run out of time, leave the car or wreck it, the passenger flees and the job ends.
- Destinations can be parking lots, dirt tracks or the fronts of unnamed shops, so read the radar and not the street names.
