Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator casts you as a newcomer in Barcelona, building a transport business one fare at a time. Its city is a 1:1-scale reproduction of a large part of Barcelona, with 286 miles of roads to navigate. Driving is not simply a matter of reaching a destination: obey traffic rules, manage changing weather and rush hours, and reroute around incidents such as accidents, roadworks, and parades.
Passenger service and vehicle upkeep shape the work behind the wheel. Customers may ask you to chat, change the radio station, or open a window, while good service can earn tips and positive reviews. Wet roads require a longer braking distance, and dashboard warnings can mean it is time to refuel, recharge, or service the car. Between fares, you can explore the city and earn experience through driving, exploration, and customer interactions, unlocking skills such as accepting longer trips.
The format also reaches beyond individual drives: profits can fund new cars and upgrades, while hired employees can be assigned to vehicles, neighbourhoods, and time slots. Special missions offer focused challenges around fast driving without speeding fines or completing trips without traffic-rule violations.
