Trivia
- โUpon purchasing this property, Franklin can instantly travel to his destination by selecting the Skip option while riding a cab. Despite the fact that it warns of an "extra cost", the trip is completely free.
- โExactly where the cabs will take the characters varies. For example, it is not possible to order a cab ride to the top of Mount Chiliad. When the driver reaches the extent of how far he is able to go, he'll drop the character off.
- โIf the player places a waypoint into the middle of the ocean, and skips the trip, the taxi will spawn above the ocean water.
- โStrangely, when Franklin calls for a cab after purchasing it, the dispatcher Raul will not call him boss. This may be a bug or developer oversight, as audio for this exists in the files but remains unused.
- โAfter the purchase of the company, Franklin can take the taxis from the depot freely, although he is still using a carjacking animation. Most likely an oversight. This has been fixed in the enhanced version.
- โThe cost of the cab co is $200,000 with weekly income of $2,000. Without taking any fares as Franklin and just letting the money come in each week, it will take 100 game weeks (just under 2 years) to recover the cost and begin operating at a profit.
