¶ HOW TO PLAY
When the ride arrives at your location a prompt will say PRESS F TO GET IN. Once you are in it will prompt you to set a waypoint on the map. After you close the map press E to send the driver on the way. Pressing the SPACEBAR will put the driver in HURRY mode where he drives faster and runs stoplights etc. Shooting out of the windows of the vehicle (or pressing ENTER) will put the driver in FLEE mode where he drives really fast and doesn't stop for anything. You can press any of those keys anytime during the ride to switch back and forth between settings. It does charge you extra each time you ask for a faster driving mode. You can see the current charges on the meter (for a taxi) or as a text display for limos and other.
When you arrive, the driver will tell you that you are there and your character will automatically get out of the vehicle and you will be charged the total ride cost. (If using money, which can be set in the configuration)
You CAN leave the vehicle early (pressing F) before arriving at the destination but the driver will freak out a little and call 911 on you by placing a message in the chat about you bailing on your cab ride without paying. It even gives the nearest postal of where you bailed, if postals were configured.
One thing to consider:
The drivers are AI drivers and they drive like they are. They are terrible drivers and sometimes get stuck and can't figure out how to proceed. And sometimes they crash. And sometimes they run over you when they arrive to pick you up. That just adds to the fun.
