Suggestion Title: Taxi rework
Suggestion Description: I think the taxi is the most underused job in the game and its actually sad because it can be a fun job especially meeting lots of people doing so and obviously most people have a car or would rather get the metro than jump in one right now. I think the pay is just too low for people to want to consider doing taxi and also too expensive for those that know they could wait 40 seconds for a train to not have to spend a shit ton of money getting in with a taxi. It's the only job that doesn't really get touched much apart from I've seen some sweaters using it to run people over lmao. I think if the money for the job was increased we'd see a lot more taxi drivers in the city and it also makes the city feel a bit brighter and more alive. I think with an increase it would also make sense to reduce the cost of travel for the customer too. So the taxi driver can get paid much better and will motivate people to want to hop in one. This would be especially helpful for new players having taxi drivers helping them around as im sure some would pick them up and help them find where they need to go especially those doing tutorials that may get confused, lost and end up leaving before they even give it a chance. It would also just mean people interact a bit more which is never a downside as well meeting new people and making new friends.
Why should this be added?:
- Improves player interaction and roleplay across the city
- Makes the taxi job a viable and appealing option
- Helps the city feel more alive with active drivers
- Encourages organic conversations and social encounters
- Provides support for new players navigating the map
- Reduces over-reliance on personal vehicles and the metro
What negatives could this have?:
- Risk of taxi job becoming overpowered if pay is too high
- Possible imbalance in the in-game economy
- Could make other transport options like the metro less relevant
What problem would this suggestion solve?:
- Taxi job is currently underused and often ignored
- Low pay discourages players from choosing the job
- High cost discourages players from using taxis
- Lack of interaction due to players using solo transport options
- Job is sometimes misused instead of played properly
