In this shorts video, we go over why the Taxi Business is the WORST BUSINESS in GTA 5 Online!
This GTA weekly update introduced us to the brand new GTA Online Taxi Business which is easily the worst business within all of GTA 5 Online. The GTA 5 Taxi Business pays nothing compared to other businesses and was not worth the hype for the taxi business.

Not only that, but you can get a modified taxi for reaching level 25 in the arena war sponsorship tiers. It’s actually faster than the default cab you get and you can still do taxi work with it so it’s better to just get that one. The only issue being that the arena workshop that you need to purchase to actually progress in the sponsorship tiers is more expensive than the cab and you need to play a lot of arena war to reach level 25 so do with that what you will.

They made it that the two cars you can get liveries for can be used for taxi jobs. Both of those can be customized. One is the Broadway Classic, I think. Its livery can be obtained by doing 50 fares, I think. At least that is when the job was first introduced. The Willard I believe the livery is obtained by doing 10 stunt jumps while doing taxi work. You do not have to own the cab to do the work to get the liveries just use the one at the downtown cab company near the casino.

I mean I think it’s a cool idea like roleplay wise & maybe something to do if u don’t wanna do mission or wait for cool downs, but I mean cmon man I think each for each taxi mission should be 60-70k. And also feels like that this should’ve been in the Online version of GTA in the beginning like when the game first launched, I think they should do more jobs like this, such as Garbage Disposal, Mailman, Lawnmower, Firefighter, Paramedic, A pilot, a police officer, & more.
