First things to know before you drive
Check
JusDrive uses left-hand traffic, so keep that in mind as soon as you load in. Update 8 added a minimap to help you track where you are on the map at all times.
- Drive on the left side of the road.
- NPC taxi passengers are in the game as of Update 8, so you can start earning taxi badges right away.
How the taxi system works
Step
Playing as a taxi driver has its own set of rules, and breaking them is recorded as a badge. There are also badges for doing the job well.
- Pick up a passenger find an NPC taxi passenger and accept them.
- Start the taxi meter the meter must be running while you are carrying a passenger; skipping this earns the 'Getting caught for not using taxi meter' badge.
- Drive to the destination take the passenger all the way to where they need to go; kicking them out early earns the 'Getting caught for ride refusal' badge.
- Complete the trip delivering the passenger earns the 'Rookie Taxi Driver' badge on your first success.
- Repeat ten times finishing ten trips earns the 'Complete 10 Taxi Trips' badge.
- Reach 160 km/h with a passenger on board this unlocks its own dedicated badge.
