When was the last time you actually CALLED and spoke to a human to order a taxi anyway? That's a rarity now. In a city where the crime rate is on par with Haiti then it's only natural that some kind of ID checks would be mandatory. Is it really such a big deal if your friendly neighbour taxi driver pulls up and is like "Hi Vash? Taxi for you sir." What's he gonna go with this information? Rat out all of your criminal enterprise. Kindly get a grip sir. This is on the spot. 1 Link to comment
Cindy Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 +100 Yes please, I hate that taxi drivers know some of my characters names, some of my characters go by Nicknames only, and would never give out there real name to a taxi app. I love giving taxi drivers RP when I can, but hate that some metagame knowing my name, because realistically some of my characters would not have signed up with a real name, its fairly easy to sign up with fake names too really.

Nevermind how the taxi market has likely evolved because of the wildly dangerous nature of the city alone. I could see taxis implementing security by requiring anyone using the taxi service to have an account with information that can be verified with the police department or the DMV. If you want to fake it out? Just use a mask while calling, and let the results be as they be, which is a pretty much assured rejection. 1 Link to comment
varthshenon Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The only MG I can think of with the current taxi system is when the driver pull over to your character and immediately ask them to get in without even asking if they were the one ordering XD Link to comment

You're never asked to give out your name so I don't understand how they'd have that information. If anything, it could connect you to a hotline or an NPC taxi service where you are automatically asked to provide a name which can also be a fake name. Because caller ID exists IRL. Link to comment
