Crazy Taxi

Frantic fare game

Crazy Taxi is a 1999 arcade racing game where players drive a taxi through city streets, picking up passengers and delivering them to destinations as quickly as possible.

The gameplay rewards reckless driving—weaving through traffic, jumping off ramps, narrowly avoiding collisions.

The title has become shorthand for chaotic, aggressive driving: My Uber driver was in full Crazy Taxi mode.
