i've had some pretty good RP experiences being a taxi driver - it's a good way to meet people, find out what they're up to and see if you can wiggle your way into their plans. A lot people need someone willing to drive them around, if you catch my drift

All right I think it's about time I step in on this topic, as taxi work is quite literally my whole shebang. Does the taxi job need rework. yes. Will it be fixed by devs soon. Probs not. 

I run a taxi business in the city, Taxi Bauer. The plan of this is to run it like TBT and RACV. We have our own discord group (with gov) and have created  a CAD system( AKU system) that works within discord. This being said. Being a taxi driver is pretty hard. Nothing works the way it is designed to, except for the pinged location. There is no automated mechanics. It relies solely on your dedication to be creative. There's no communication between customer and driver, UNLESS the driver memorizes the number and calls the client themselves. this locks in the client and makes him stay there so you can pick them up. That's the most efficient way to get clients.

reviving a super old thread, mostly because I wasn't a BBRP member when this was a live conversation. I've been trying out a few jobs and i'm enjoying taxi the most - i'd definitely been keen to join up with Taxi Bauer, and do what I can to help flesh out a more player-run taxi business. 

Starting a taxi role I have zero idea about things like "what should i be charging?" and having some kind of system for who picks up what. Most of the time when I get a text, I have no way to contact that person to say "i'm on my way", so I just have to travel there and hope nobody else has picked them up, or that they haven't buggered off after waiting all of 20 seconds.
