A chapter of History of Taxi Cabs is long enough to fill a completely roman, but we'll get through the essentials. It all started in the 17th century. Horse drawn hackney carriages services began operating in Paris and London in 1605. Lately, with the evolution, the hansom cab has appeared.It was designed and patented in 1834 by Josph Hansom, an arhitect from Las Venturas.
ImageThese two-wheels vehicles were fast enough, due to it weight, and light enough to be pulled by a single horse, so the travelling with this kind of vehicle was much cheaper and e four wheeled one. Later, these 'cabs' were replaced with the hackney carriage as a vehicle for hire.

A 1920s coal-gas powered taxicab operated by John Lee Automobile Engineers in San Fierro, England. The bag atop the vehicle stored sufficient fuel for 15 miles of driving. Fast forward to 2007 according to an article in The Conservative, more than 1000 taxicabs in the Chinese city of Fuxin have switched from gasoline to compressed coal-based methane (CBM) fuel.

Quickly enough, they spread to other cities, mostly in United Kingdom, as well as continental European cities. This was happening during the 19th century. Most commonly it was used in San Andreas City. But where are these modern taxis we are talking about to be found? The main central point is Unity Station found in the heart of Los Santos.

How stands work?

These stands are normally located at high traffic locations such as hotel driveways, railway stations, airport, shopping centres and major street intersections. They are marked usually by simple painted yellow signs. In Los Santos an intending passenger is entitled to choose any taxicab that is available for hire at an appointed taxi stand.The Commission for Taxi Regulation has deemed that the customer has the right to choose and that the principle of first come, first served, is dismissed.

Who drives these vehicles that suffered an enormous change during the past decades just for the confort and safety of people?

We usually call them taxi drivers, taxi cab driver, cab driver, but they are more than that.A taxi driver is a professional driver who transports passengers to their chosen destination through the use of a taxi cab.By transporting their passengers, they earn a fare depending on the length of the ride.If the driver is working for a company, they will be dispatched by the company to go and pick up passengers.

Today we will bring you new concepts in the field of modern ways of transportation such as:


  • TIPS
The leading economic explanation for tipping - that is, explanation why the practice is socially beneficial, not why individuals leave tips even though it is not narrowly advantageous to them - is that it confers an incentive to provide personal services. This fits many instances in which tipping is common but does not fit the taxicab business very well. We, staff of Vintage Cab, propose two novel explanations of tipping that do fit the taxi case. The first is that tipping might represent Lindahl pricing of the services of vacant cabs (essentially, reduced waiting time), a local public good for taxi customers. The second is that the actual fare for a cruising cab is de facto a matter of negotiation between the cab driver and the customer. Tipping thus represents a frank acknowledgment that the posted fare or regulatory determined fare is non-binding; the tip is simply the portion of the agreed fare in excess of the regulated one. So the choice is yours, either you leave the taxi drivers tips or not we will treat you as well as possible.

  • Wheelchair Accesibility

  • This faction meaning is to bring back the clasic and pure roleplay of taxi driving.Old school roleplay of taxi driver and transport connection throughout the San Andreas states.
  • Unfortunately, because of lack of money i won't be able to ofer ranks (not a faction), salaries and taxi cars, so everyone who would like to join the faction must have its own taxi, painted blue.
  • If you will come here with the thought of reachness you better reconsider the faction you want to roleplay with.
  • This faction does not intend to violate or break any of server/forum rules.Everyone who considers to join it must obey the server/forum rules.Every violation is done at their personally own risk, and doesn't fall under the Vintage Cab Company fault.
  • For any mistakes i have made feel more than pleased to correct me/or if you have any suggestions feel free to post them here on thread or via PM.I will be more than happy to listen.
  • This topic wil be continuously updated with new informations, services and images.
