(Head Radio/King 130.7 radio track)

Hey, Jumbo, it's Elmo. The Taxis in this city won't give me a ride. I have chosen three of them for special attention. Go get the first Taxi.

Taxi Drivers Must Die! is a mission in Grand Theft Auto 2 available during Area 1: Downtown, given to the protagonist Claude Speed by the Loony boss Elmo. The mission is available from the red phone in the neighborhood of Sunnyside in Downtown District.

Maximum Respect for the Loonies is required in order to unlock this mission, indicated by the red light icon below the gang's respect-o-meter on the HUD.

Description[]

Elmo is angry at the Taxi Drivers around town because they won't give him any rides. He asks Claude to destroy some to show them his point of view. Claude jacks them all and crushes them at the South Docks, killing the drivers as well.

Reward[]

The reward for completing the mission is $60,000, +1 Score Multiplier, and increased Loonies Respect level.

Trivia[]

  • The mission is named after the chorus of the song "Taxi Drivers" by Bula Matari, featured on Head Radio and King 130.7 in GTA 2.
    • In the original PlayStation release specifically, any profanities in the song lyrics are comedically 'bleeped' (censored) using vehicle horn sound effects. This censorship was removed in subsequent releases of GTA 2 on other platforms.
  • The Taxi Drivers share their appearance with members of the Yakuza, though they are not Yakuza gang members; as killing them won't cause Yakuza respect to drop.
