Taxi Rush
Drive a yellow cab through a sunny city grid. Pick up fares, drop them off fast and smoothly, obey traffic lights and beat each shift's earnings goal.
Taxi Rush is a top-down city taxi game about fast, careful driving. Waving passengers wait at the curb, each marked on the minimap with their fare. Pull up beside one, stop, and they hop in. Then follow the arrow across town to the green flag and stop again to drop them off. The fare depends on distance, and the tip depends on how you drove.
Every passenger has a tip meter. It drains when you run late, bump other cars or walls, or cut across sidewalks and parks. Running a red light costs a fine and a big chunk of tip, so watch the signals at every junction. Commuters are easygoing, passengers in a hurry pay more but give you less time, VIPs tip double but hate bumps, and tourists want a gentle ride. A ride with no bumps earns a smooth-ride bonus, and quick deliveries earn a speed bonus. Each shift has a timer and an earnings goal. Beat it to move on to the next shift with a higher target and heavier traffic, and get paid an overtime bonus for anything above the goal.
Between shifts you spend your cash on engine, tire and soft-bumper upgrades or a GPS route line. Tip: honk to hurry slow cars in front of you, and brake early so you stop right beside the passenger.
How to play
Drive to a waiting passenger and stop beside them to pick them up, then drive to the green drop-off flag and stop again. You earn the fare plus a tip that shrinks if you are late, bump into things, drive on sidewalks or run red lights. Earn the shift goal before the timer ends to reach the next shift, where goals are higher and traffic is heavier. Spend your earnings on upgrades between shifts. Your score is your total earnings, and the run ends when you miss a shift goal.
