The three types of

follows:

TIPS AND RADICAL MANEUVERS

While carrying a customer, if you make a radical maneuver to the delight of the
customer, a tip will be added to the fare. The following are ways to "please" a
customer.

✻

For group customers, the amount of tip added is multiplied by the number of customers aboard.

BASE FARE

The base fare is
calculated
according to
the distance of
the destination.
It appears
when you pick
up a customer.

Use jump ramps
or crazy hops to
get airborne for
a given amount
of time.

Weave through
traffic or jump
over other cars.

TIPS (SEE BELOW)

Added to the fare
whenever you
make a radical
maneuver to the
delight of the
customer.

If you earn tips in

succession without hitting
other cars, they will be counted as a
combo. The tip rate increases with
each trick. Once you hit an object
or car the combo counter will be
reset to zero.

TIME BONUS FARE

Awarded for
time remaining

Nihilistic, cool, and a tad bit insane, “Slash”
is a hip guy in cool threads. Some say he’s
irresponsible, but ask anyone and they’ll
say Slash takes care of his bros. One might
think Slash would always be surrounded by
friends, but once you get to know him you’ll
soon learn that most people shy away.
Why? Because Slash is a man with two
faces. He can lose his temper over even the
smallest matters. And once he does, there’s
absolutely no one that can stop him.
Everyone around him becomes an enemy.
Anyone who approaches him when he is
angry must either be a brave soul or a
complete idiot. Luckily, everyone knows that
as long as you don’t get on his nerves,
Slash will do his job well. In fact, Slash’s first
class driving skills have garnered him a very
loyal following. Why did he become a
cabbie? No one dares ask. But if you were
to ask around, everyone would say it was
probably just a whim.

Cool looks and a hint of madness, “Iceman” is a
cabbie with an attitude!
He does eve ry thing his own way, and never pays
a compliment to anyone, even at wo rk.
W h e n ever a customer compliments him, you can
expect a bru s que re p ly. For him, success is th e
o n ly option and it isn’t open for debate. If anyo n e
c riticizes him for his mista kes, he will sta re at th e m
and say, “You got a problem with what I’m doin’ ? ”
Nothing is impossible for Iceman. Even when he
m a kes a mista ke, he considers it a sponta n e o u s
h a p p e n i n g .
Pe rhaps it was his dest i ny to become a cabbie.
Wi th his pers o n a l i t y, th e re’s bound to be pro b l e m s ,
and because of this, no job has lasted long. But
one day, while driving his car, he saw an old man
h i t chhiking. He let the old man aboard, and in his
usual high speed, delive red him to his dest i n a t i o n .
The old man was so gra teful, he gave him a huge
tip. The next day, he painted his car ye l l ow and
the re st is histo ry. Iceman dri ves his taxi just to ge t
by, and spends peaceful days with his belove d

dog, a boxer named “BB.”

Charming looks and incredibly cheerful,
“Cinnamon” is a spunky girl with some
serious driving skills. Think positively, that’s
her policy. The problem is that she often
has trouble distinguishing between what is
right and what is wrong. When trouble arises,
she often forgets mistakes and lessons from
the past. She is very forgetful, but with her
earnest and caring attitude, and cheerful
disposition, there is no one in this town who
dislikes her. Everyone always wonders why
she never learns; they end up giving her the
same advice time and time again.
She loves life whenever she is being
praised. Having the chance to meet and
please so many people every day is the
reason Cinnamon chose this career. Her
driving skills and maneuvers always delight
her passengers, but occasionally she
pushes it a bit too far.

“Hot-D” is an old man who manages to be incredibly
cheerful and physically youthful. He’s a thrill-seeking
cabbie who loves making money! At one time
a wild and crazy stunt driver, Hot-D always
wondered how he could make more green.
Then, one day, while visiting the West Coast to
film stunts for a big action movie, Hot-D was driving
downtown when he saw a yellow blur streak past him on
the road. It was a cabbie driving his taxi with skills that
would impress even the best professional stunt driver. With
superior driving skills, Hot-D caught up with the cab to get
a closer look. That is when it dawned on him that he could
take his driving skills back East and make a ton of money.
He immediately headed home, painted his favorite car,
and concentrated on improving his social talents. He
knew that delighting customers was the way to earn the
big bucks. Hot-D is well known for his superior service, and
his customers are always impressed with his “driving-while-
talking” skills. Occasionally, this talent gets him into a bit
of trouble when he becomes so engulfed in conversation
that he forgets to drop his customers off. Luckily, one of
his greatest skills is calming down angry customers. Hot-D’s

theory is, if they’re angry, they won’t leave a tip—and as

you know: it’s all about the green.
