I thought of a neat mission for CK. Benny the taxi driver mentions that the taxi data bases are out of date and the guy at Congress Street Taxi Company says they were put out of business by the E-Street Pharmacy brothers. My idea is a Knight could map out the NBZ by walking to every building to update the data base so that the Congress Street Taxi Company could reopen. The reward could be either,
1: A one time high money payout.
2: A V-chip for an elite taxi that does not care about how high your heat level is and is always available.
3: A share of the profits from the taxi business.
P.S. If anyone else thought of this and I did not see it posted then I apologize, not trying to steal your ideas.

I like the idea of getting a crazy taxi driver willing to make hot extractions. Having him be always available though is probably to much as then you could use him exclusively to move you from one job to the next in hot zones with much lower risk of encounters.
On a side note I find it a bit odd that the taxi drivers won't pick me up from a hot hood, but they have no problem taking me into one. Shouldn't they refuse any fare either to or from a hot zone?

I find it weird too that they take you in hot territory but not out. Its like a roach motel with them, you can check in, but you won't check out ;D

There are certain taxi drivers who are willing to risk it, or are more available than others. You've got to find the good ones! A hot CK is dangerous to transport, as it threatens their job. They could lose their precious position at a registered taxi co, if they are caught. So the risky ones go for it, the others stay back.

koles - water taxis and thopters have the distinct advantage of taking almost no time, where a taxi has to pass many checkpoints and can burn hours.

I have noticed that water taxis also do not charge extra for more party members. That makes them very useful when your low on funds.

thropters are great, one of my CK used them many times  but water taxis - well, sometimes I use Ricco's services just for fun/change standrad way but his boat dont take me for long distance, but Canal always wasnt on my way, even if I have to get to The Fenns - often I also had second job on Copley, Kenmore or Commonwealth... edit: if only Ricco could take us a bit further - I would use him often, but I dont know how Canal's taxi earns his bread |
