Do you call taxis in GTAO?

[WesternMotorcycleCo.]

A friend called a taxi the other day and we both got in and set the destination. Just wondering if anyone else uses/has ever used a taxi online

Very rarely. I only use it if I want to blend in with traffic and go off the radar. Lol.

[ThugBunny_]

They aren't as useful in online like they are in SP, I would just call my mechanic or steal a car.

[Proenza Schouler]

Yes! I love the taxi service! Driving is so time-consuming and I'd rather paint my nails while someone drive me than drive myself.

[Shadow_Titan17]

Called him once. Drove too slow, kill him and took the taxi.

[Skeever]

Nice poll.

"I've called one once or twice before" sums it up for me. Don't see the point in withdrawing money from the bank for the cab fare, calling a taxi and then waiting for him to drive to your destination when you can just call for your Personal Vehicle.

-call for a taxi on the higher off road path through raton canyon
-set a waypoint for the other side and get in the taxi

-tell the driver to hurry and experience the most retarded npc driver ever

[itgirl]

I did but he drive too damn slow and the hurry option didn't work. I killed it and drive it myself c:

[Alvarez]

Taxi drivers should also drive your own vehicles. Also, planes.

[blk95ta]

I've done it when i needed to go take a leak, lol.

 

I think you should be able to call the limo and have 5 people in it with an npc chauffeur.

[8up local]

i use it often enough to have fun with it.

[DopeFresh]

another useless feature.

[beanzinapot]

Yes.

[Johan]

Pretty useful when you have to go away for a few minutes, only done it once though

[k33g]

Sometimes I'll hop in a taxi while I get high, kind of a two birds one stoned situation.

 

They're slow as f*ck even when you tell them to hurry, though.

I hate the beaner music (no racism intended, I am latino so it's okay) the taxi drivers always listen to, so no. I miss Mohammed from GTA IV and his Cavalcade.

Only in extremely rare cases when I'm busy with something else and can't be bothered travelling in my own personal vehicle. It's also pretty funny when another player notices you driving past in the back of a cab; they're extremely quick off the mark to kill you though, because they're a bunch of destructive bastards.

You can change the music by going into the pause menu, settings, audio and changing the radio station from there.

 

I've called it a few times, not enough to get any frequent passenger miles. It's good when you want to eat chips or something but also want to go somewhere, driving one handed is awkward as hell.

[ChrilLe]

Why the hell does it sound like the cabdriver is speaking through a microphone in Online? It's ridiculous...

[Judicious 7]

Only once. And that was like, when GTAO launched lol. But nah man.. Taxis leave a guy open for gunfire.

[WesternMotorcycleCo.]

another useless feature.

 

Cry me a river

[GTA-Biker]

I did it a few times,but it´s boring because you can´t skip the ride and you can´t change the radio station.I rather steal a vehicle from NPCs or call a mechanic.

[Black Terminator]

I've never called a taxi online. I have my own cars for riding.

[itrpatrick]

Is the taxi a contact? Or do you need to find one?

[don ovdi' island]

That's called a chauffeur, not the same.

 

Also taxi's sell for 1500$ in LSC. It's not sh*t but not bad for a car you can make appear to you right in front of LSC, steal and get cash.

[State_Trooper]

I called the taxi less than 4 time, slow as hell.

[JON22]

I sometimes call it. But I hate that there's no proper inside view like GTA 4. I called it so many times on that game lol. If they had that view in 5/Online, the taxi would be my coffin.

 

R* should add an option for Lamar or Gerald where you call a gang member to be your driver, so you can do drive-bys. Otherwise the taxi feature is useless.

[Gatti Sosa]

I only use it if I'm rolling a joint or packing a bowl other than that no

[dead goon]

Same.

[AceThaCreator]

If i didn't have 40 cars then maybe
