Taxi Driver

Taxi Driver is a Job Diversion in Saints Row 2.

Overview[]

There is a prompt to start Taxi Driver upon entering any Taxi. The Diversion requires the driver to pick-up and drop-off Civilians around Stilwater within a certain time.

The time given is between 1:00 and 1:30, this stays the same through all 10 levels of the Diversion, but the distance of the pick-up point and drop-off point increases. Also, occasionally, the player has to do scary turns and "near misses" when someone tries to rob them.

It is not possible to switch Taxis mid-diversion, and destroying the Taxi fails the Diversion.

As with Escort, there are different things which may happen

"The customer is in a hurry, get there fast"
"The customer wants you to drive slow and steady"
"The customer wants you to drive fast and recklessly"
"A rival taxi is trying to steal your customer"
"The customer is trying to mug you" - Near Misses and Oncoming Lane Driving Stunts must be performed to scare them off.

Obtaining[]

Taxis commonly drive almost everywhere in Stilwater, there are some parked Taxis near Wardill Airport building, but another easy way to get a Taxi is to call one on the Cellphone.

555-819-8415 - Big Willy's Cab
555-018-0174 - Eagleline Yellow
555-455-8008 - TNA Taxi

Each Taxi has different logos, but which Taxi is used has no effect on the Diversion.

Entering a called Taxi makes Playa use the Taxi Service instead of stealing them vehicle, so the driver must be killed first.
