How to Hail a Taxi in "GTA 4"
- 1). Begin playing the game and stand along a city street. You can wait for a cab here.
- 2). Press the "L1" button on your controller as a taxi approaches you. You will hail the cab, which should pull over next to your location.
- 3). Hold the "Triangle" button to enter the passenger's side of the cab. Do not simply press the 'Triangle" button because a press command will make your character try to hijack the taxi.
