Taxi!

About

Taxi! is a simulation game where you build a taxi business from the ground up. Start with a beat-up cab, haul passengers, and complete missions to earn cash for upgrades and new vehicles. Managing drivers adds strategy, some cost more but avoid risky behavior that could wreck your ride. Each job requires balancing speed and caution, whether you're dodging traffic or navigating tricky road conditions. The game stands out for its detailed management layer and three distinct cities, each with local driving rules and vehicle styles. Players appreciate the mix of passenger runs and oddball tasks like ferrying impatient riders who want to break the law. With its focus on resource management and driver risk levels, Taxi! has earned a steady 8.2/10 average from fans. The challenge comes from juggling upgrades, staff choices, and chaotic missions without bankrupting your fledgling company.

Storyline

Choose your staff wisely, while one driver may be expensive to hire they are less likely to take risks which will end in a collision catastrophe that’ll see you picking up the costly tab at the local garage. Each driver will excel in a particular area but some may be less experienced so you’re not going to want to risk one of your fully upgraded cars on an inexperienced driver that is more likely to prang the vehicle into an unidentifiable mess of metal. Each of the three cities, based in America, Europe and the U.K includes its own unique cars and will require you to consider what side of the road you’ll need to drive on. Be cautious of potholes, oil slicks, peak time traffic and speed bumps as you seek to deliver your passenger to their destination in a timely manner. There are a variety of obscure missions that you’ll need to complete that will include impatient passengers encouraging you to break traffic laws to get to their destination quickly and precariously balancing luggage on the roof rack of your taxi.
