No, many people AFK in game, if a taxi driver afks and they get a job assigned the player can wait for minutes. The taxi job needs rewriting and a better system than the quick accept stuff.

@zaXer. 

 

If you actually read the main post I explain how there's a timer that gives the player a chance to take/decline the call.

If they're AFK no problem, just skips onto the next driver and puts the AFK driver off-duty.

 

I put some effort in the thread it'd be nice if you actually payed attention lol

Exactly, some sort of an off/on-duty system should be implemented, and specific taxi-meter price ranges should be set. I rarely use taxis but the one time I used it last week a taxi driver was charging me $1000 for a 3-minute ride, completely unrealistic and creates useless arguments that you'll never see in real life. The system that is suggested here would improve the taxi system, enhance realism and with a fair and realistic pricing system on top of that you've solved the whole thing.

I agree with this as long as you recieve the alert from outside of your taxi as well. Will give you enough time to run inside and accept the call.

This is a good suggestion. The current system punishes taxi drivers who actually roleplay between calls, as opposed to those who eagerly wait for the moment to rush /taxiaccept 187

Ill rework the taxi system soon. We are now having our hands full with Rage 1.1
