If you can't communicate with a microphone, you can always use /call in order to speak with your Customers.
In order for passengers to be able to ride together, they will have to add each other as buddies!
Entry Fee and Fare Prices
Once a player enters your taxi, you will receive a notification, showing the entry fee price the player has paid.
Each 100 meters driven will result in the passenger paying the price that you have previously setup using the F3 key.
Advertising
Advertising is a great way to receive calls from potential customers, You can make one by using /advert, which will be completely free of charge as a taxi driver! Here's an image of what a good advert should look like.
Another way of receiving customers is to park in front of the City Hall building, which is where most of the players will spawn. One of them could be a potential customer looking for a quick ride.
