Taxi!

Taxi! combines arcade driving with strategic management. You run a cab firm in one of three 3D cities, starting with a rundown taxi and earning money by picking up passengers and completing dispatch missions. Use your earnings to upgrade your cab and buy more vehicles.

Run your cab firm

Choose drivers carefully. Each has a particular strength, but some are less experienced; drivers who take risks may cause collisions that leave you with costly garage bills. An expensive driver is less likely to take risks, and inexperienced drivers may not be a good fit for fully upgraded cars. You can hire drivers, purchase vehicles and upgrade them, while poorly maintained vehicles incur penalties.

Drive across three cities

The cities are based in America, Europe and the U.K. Each has its own cars, and you need to account for which side of the road to drive on. Potholes, oil slicks, peak-time traffic and speed bumps can affect your journeys, alongside a day-and-night cycle and weather that includes fog and rain. Crashes dent your taxi.

Dispatch missions

Missions include impatient passengers who urge you to break traffic laws to reach their destination quickly, as well as precariously balancing luggage on your taxi’s roof rack.
