Taxi Missions

Recommended Posts

The other night i was doing my taxi missions for 100% and got up to 33 fares completed with about 8 minutes on the clock before i was tired and went to sleep. I raked in something like 14 grand doing it all. So you can see this as a question or a challenge, how many fares have you/can you string in a row?

The Takeover

I got up to ten fares in a taxi and I had to stop because it was getting boring. Vigilante mission are better in my opinion.

The most I've done is 100 in a row. Its not too difficult to keep it going but to what end..

I've done 100 in one go. In GTA3 the Taxi missions seemed easier. I've done over 400 in one go in GTA3 but in Vice City you seem to run out of time easier and every so often you drop off the passenger and no new ones spawn for a while and you can lose a bunch of time that way.

I spent a few hours last night and did 50 in a row with 8 minutes left on the clock and earnings of about 35,000. I did this on the mainland, and it was very easy. Compared to GTA3, Vice Citie's Taxi Missions were insanely easier i think. I was using the Zebra Cab, which does handle fairly well and has some good durability.

I know I've 100 in a row. Just wanted to get it done. Don't remember it taking that long, but I wasn't looking to go into the record books.

I did 70 in a row, which netted me about $50K, IIRC.

 

I would have done 100, but I started too late the first time, and fell asleep after the 30th. Heh.

My max is 10 no Vice City. On Gta3 I had 50 It's because I know the game better. But one time I got done viciously dirty I was doing the taxi mission on Vice City in Downtown so they sended me to the Airport! They gave me 2minutes thank God i was in the Zebra Cab I had ten seconds to spare. They put the next person in the Airport.

Doing taxi missions on Staunton Island is like doing Vigilante missions in Vice City. It's all a matter of how long you can keep going without getting bored. Doing hundreds in a row isn't a driving skill challenge, it's just an endurance challenge - how long till you get bored.

[off topic] I think you need to have a certain number of posts before you can edit the text under your avatar--I forget how many. Seeing that you joined 2 days ago, I doubt you have enough. Not that I'm encouraging you to start spamming these boards. [/off topic]

I read somewhere that if you get 100 taxi fares in VC all the cabs are then able to jump cars? Dunno if it's true or not but I wanted to try and get 100 and see so I just spent a couple of hours doing it but I got to 47 and then no fares spawned, not one. I was driving around all over the place for 4 minutes and nothing angry.gif I am so pissed off I need to go and kill some peds now die2.gif

 

*EDIT*

 

After going on the rampage and killing everyone in sight I felt calm enough to have another go and the same thing happened at around 40 but it brought my total passengers over the 100 mark and now I have jumping taxis which make unique jumps more interesting biggrin.gif

I've done 100 and that was because of I glitch I experienced in GTAIII I could of gone on for as long as I wanted!

I got 189 or somthing.

I feel like shooting myself in the head for having to do 100 at all, let alone in a row. Why in the world would you do almost twice as much??

I jacked a taxi and turned on taxi mode straight away and my first customer was the taxi driver who's cab I'd just jacked biggrin.gif

I've done 255 in a row once. Always on the eastern island. If you can get past the first 10, I've found it pretty much a piece of cake to breeze through the rest of them - you just need the patience. It took me a few days of having VC paused when I wasn't playing, but I made it high enough. Eventually, I just decided that enough was enough (I needed my comp for a programming assignment). It's my forte - I'm much worse at vigilantee...

Like the taxi missions I left vigilante missions until I'd finished the game but I found them a breeze in the army helicopter.
