Whether you're looking for a steady source of income, enjoy driving around the city, or simply want a job that keeps you moving, the Taxi Job offers a simple yet engaging way to earn money while providing an essential service to the community.In this guide, you'll learn everything you need to know to get started, from beginning your shift and choosing your taxi to accepting passenger requests, completing rides, and earning your pay. We'll also cover the available taxi options, job progression, and useful tips to help you become a more efficient and successful taxi driver.INFOBefore starting your career as a Taxi Driver, make sure you have a valid Taxi License. Operating a taxi without the required license may lead to issues during your shift. You can purchase your Taxi License at any Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) location.HOW TO START AND WORK THE TAXI JOBTo begin your taxi duty, first make your way to the Taxi Job location. Open your map and look for the yellow vehicle blip — this marks the location of the taxi depot where you can start your career behind the wheel.Once you arrive at the depot, you'll be presented with several options by pressing E for how you want to get started. You can either rent a taxi for a set amount of time or purchase your own taxi to use for your work. If you're just starting out, renting a taxi is highly recommended. You can rent a vehicle for 1 hour, 3 hours, or 12 hours, allowing you to try the job and see if it's something you enjoy before making a larger investment. Buying your own taxi can be useful later on, but there's no need to rush into purchasing one before you've had a chance to experience the job. Choose the option that suits you best, get behind the wheel, and you're ready to start your taxi duty!STARTING YOUR SHIFTIMPORTANT: Before you begin taking passengers, remember that this is a roleplay job. Drive realistically, follow traffic laws, and treat every passenger interaction as an opportunity to roleplay. You are not simply driving from point A to point B — you are communicating with other players throughout your shift, so make sure to interact with your passengers properly and keep the experience immersive for everyone.Once you have rented or purchased your taxi, the vehicle will spawn right next to you, ready for you to begin your shift. Get into your taxi and prepare to start working. However, simply entering the vehicle does not automatically make you available for passengers. You must activate yourself as a taxi driver before you can begin receiving ride orders. After activating your taxi driver status, you will become available for incoming passenger requests and can begin accepting rides around Los Santos. Get in, activate your driver status, and wait for your first passenger.IMPORTANTThis job allows you to drive NPC passengers, meaning you don't have to rely on real players being around to receive taxi orders. Even if the streets are quiet and there aren't many players around, you can still enjoy your shift and earn money as a taxi driver.To receive your first NPC passenger, simply open your mobile app and press the designated button. Once activated, you'll receive your first pickup location and can begin your journey!Remember: Drive realistically, follow traffic rules, and treat every passenger as if you're providing a real taxi service. Even having an NPCs in your car, you're responsible to drive realistically!Once you've arrived at the pickup location, you'll see your NPC passenger(s) waiting for you. You can have a maximum of 3 passengers inside your taxi at the same time, so they spawn randomly, it might be from 1 up to 3 passengers at one pick-up location. Park your taxi close to the passengers and make sure they have enough space to get inside. Once you're positioned correctly, the NPCs will eventually enter your vehicle. After all passengers have entered the taxi, your GPS will automatically update with their final destination. Simply follow the route on your map and drive them safely to their destination.Once you've successfully reached the passenger's destination, your ride will be completed automatically and the fare will be paid directly into your account. After completing the ride, your mobile application will automatically switch to the "Street Fares" menu. This means you're now available to receive a taxi request from a real player.INFOIf there aren't enough players online and you don't want to wait for a real player to request a taxi, you can continue taking NPC fares. Simply press "Stop Searching", then select "Find Street Fares" to receive another NPC ride and continue your shift.YOUR SHIFT STARTS HERE!And that's everything you need to know to get started as a Taxi Driver! Whether you're picking up real players or transporting NPC passengers, every ride is an opportunity to earn money and enjoy your shift on the streets of Los Santos. Remember to drive realistically, follow traffic rules, communicate properly with your passengers, and provide a smooth and professional taxi service. If there aren't enough players requesting rides, you can always switch back to NPC fares and keep your shift going. Now that you know how everything works, it's time to get behind the wheel, start your engine, and hit the streets! Your passengers are waiting — good luck, drive safe, and enjoy your shift![PICKY 1908/26.01] Edited August 19Aug 19 by Picky
