The Stanier taxi in the teaser has me hoping for proper taxi side missions

Saw that shot of the 1955 Vapid Stanier from the June teasers and immediately thought taxi. The livery, the roof sign, it's all there. And it got me thinking about what Rockstar might do with taxi work this time around.

In IV, Roman could send fares your way, which was a nice little touch. V had the odd taxi side mission where you'd pick someone up and suddenly you're in a chase or protecting them from something. But it never felt fully fleshed out. I'm really hoping VI takes it further, especially with the scale of the map they're building.

Imagine a proper taxi business you can run in single player, maybe tied to the story or just as a side hustle. Pick up fares, get rated, unlock better vehicles or customisation. And online, it could be a whole role. Drive people around, deal with random events like robberies or car trouble, maybe even compete with other players for the best routes. The map's got Vice City, the Keys, Grassrivers, so there's plenty of variety in where you'd be driving.

I don't want it to be just a minigame you do once and forget. If they put as much thought into it as they did with the hunting or bounty hunting in RDR2, it could be a really chill way to explore the world and make some cash. Fingers crossed they don't sleep on it.
