Free Fun Taxi Games Online
There are so many activities to do on the computer and on the internet, and in our days these 2 elements are practically indispensable in so many domains. First of all many people are using the computers for their jobs, this being the most important role of the computers.
But you can also use your computer and especially the internet to have a lot of fun and relax. You can choose to communicate with friends or to meet new people from any country of the world, or you can listen and download music, or movies, but you can also play a lot of fun and interesting games on the internet. These are the free online flash games, and you will find thousands of them on many sites. They have quite a simple graphic, some simple controls and they are easy to understand. But they are also really fun and addictive, so when you begin to play a game, you will want to play more and more. And even though some of the games end really soon (after 5 – 10 minutes), you will play another one and another, because there are so many of them.

Some of these games get their inspiration source out of the real life, featuring real activities such as cooking, dancing, playing all kinds of sports, driving, fighting, shooting and so on. But other games are fictional, and they involve all sort of crazy actions and funny looking creatures, monsters, humans, animals and so on.
There are many game categories; one of the most famous is the “racing and driving games” category. In this category you can drive all sorts of vehicles, from auto-vehicles, to racing cars, motor bikes, ski jets, airplanes, karts and so on. But today we are going to talk about some games where you get the chance to drive a taxi.
So we’ll pick some free fun taxi online games, and discuss more about each one. One of them is called “Taxi Driving School”. In this game you are the character named Abu, which is an Indian man, and the last one from a family of famous taxi drivers. So he is carrying on the legacy of the family, and he is traveling to the taxi center of the world, which is New York. But the road to success is not so simple, and you will first have to pass a test of faith and perseverance. So to enter the world of taxi drivers you will first have to pass an exam. To pass it you must complete all 14 maneuvers in the time limit, and of course stay on the specific path and don’t crash the taxi. Use the arrow keys to steer the car,to accelerate and reverse.

Also use the space bar for the hand brake. Your car will be the yellow one, and the others are red. So it won’t be just you on the road, there are other drivers too, that just want to get home safely without you to kill them. You will have to follow the guides that will show you how to make each maneuver. Before trying the real exam you can make some practice, and you will be able to practice any of the moves you like. Among them you will find the left and right turns, the U turn, the overtake, the 45 degree parking, the left turn with traffic lights, the parallel parking, the 90 degree parking, the three point turn and others. So if you are new to the game we suggest playing each of the instructions and complete each one. The taxi is quite difficult to control, and you will need some time until you are able to control it perfectly. Even if you are used to brake using the down arrow key like in most of the driving games, when pressing the down arrow key nothing will happen.
So you will have to use the space bar each time you want to slow down. If you accelerate too much, and don’t use the break, the taxi will begin to go really fast and it will be really difficult to handle. Just follow the green arrows on the road, and the red signs to complete each of the tasks. You will have to drive through the green arrows, and stop near the red signs on the road. After reaching each of the arrows or signs they will disappear. If an arrow is still on the road, it means that you didn’t pass close enough to it, so you will have to try again.
The sound from the game is quite annoying, so we suggest to turn it off. There will be a lot of car horns on the background, and the car will make a really annoying sound when hitting the break, so this will not allow you to concentrate enough. After you are ready with the practice you can start the real exam. But it will be really difficult to complete it. Not only that the car is really annoying and difficult to control, but the time allotted for each mission is very short. So you will have to drive really fast, and also control the car perfectly to complete each mission. Even though the challenges are very realistic, the game is not so good after all. It is really difficult to play, and it will only annoy you, rather than make you have fun and relax.

There are probably many more other free and fun taxi games online, but today we are going to present just one more of them. And we’ll choose the game called “Hey Taxi”. This is not a driving school game, so you finally have the chance to be a taxi driver and to take people around town, from one place to another, and to make money out of this. It seems like the Indian people are really related to taxi driving, so this game also involves these type of people. In this game you will actually play in India, in the town of Bombay. As you might know already in India they are driving on the left side of the road, so it will be the same in this game.
It could be quite difficult for you at the beginning, if you were used to drive on the right side of the road. You will have to drive around with your yellow cab, and search for customers. When seeing a customer (a person standing on the side of the road, with a big “Taxi” sign next to them) just stop near him. He will automatically get in your taxi. Then just follow the blue arrow to take the customer to his destination. When reaching it, stop near the sign to allow to person to get off the car. After getting off, you will receive a reward in money. Then search for the next customer, to accomplish the goal for each level. Hurry up because you have a time limit.

Also collect stars along the way, and smash the wooden boxes to get more points or to find health. There will be quite a lot of traffic in the city, so you must avoid hitting the other cars. If you do, for each accident you will lose health and destroy your taxi. The car in this game is also quite difficult to control, but anyway it’s much more easy than in the previous game. Remember that you can only carry on passenger at a time. So here were two of the taxi games that you can play for free on the internet. If you know some more others that worth playing, please tell us about them. Have a nice day!
