Crazy Taxi - Cheats, Hints and Glitches (PS2)
How about finding hidden customers or making a train. jerk
The arcade version of the game includes one level and an additional "original" stage was added for the console versions. Both are based in sunny coastal California locales, with steep hills and other strong similarities to San Francisco. North of the map, past the baseball stadium, a high rise city can be found for further adventure. For both levels, the player has a choice of four drivers and their cabs, each of whom has slightly different attributes: Axel is the well-balanced cab choice, BD Joe has the fastest floored speed but least controllability, Gena has the best acceleration/deceleration and braking and Gus has the heaviest cab, enabling him to drive well off-road and even onto most oncoming traffic.

Stay there and eventually the front car will fly off the tracks and will remain that way for a little while.More moneyYour passenger will get excited and give you more money when you pass other drivers on the road. When taking people on the freeway, weave in and out of buses, trucks and cars. Your passenger will get excited and give you tips. Be careful not to crash. Sometimes when you have a customer, you can go against a wall or a solid straight side and ram side by side against it. If done correctly, you can get a Crazy Drift combo even if you did not do one. You can get up to an 8-combo. This works well by KFC with Gus or B.D Joe. Go to the girl that is waiting at the car store. Pick her up and ride through between the car aisles. She will scream "Yeah!" and

All of the cars on the other side of the road will pass you and you will get more money.Class S licensePlay the game in original mode and work for ten minutes. If you drive carefully and earn $5,000 dollars or more, you will get the Class S license. Get to first placeStart the game with your fastest character and shift into reverse gear. Reverse all the way until you reach a passenger. When you have collected her, stay to the center of the road (so that you get more combos for Crazy Through). When you get to the rail car station at the top of the hill, go anyway you want (preferably straight down the middle). Try to stay to the center of the road. Go as fast as you can without crashing into any of the other vehicles. When you get to the bottom of the hill, drop off the passenger. After that, pick up any Red, Orange or (if desired) the Yellow. This will allow you to increase your time, passengers, and money. Crazy Box modeTo complete the 30 times level, drive down the middle of the road at a relatively slow speed.

Instead, drive slowly down the middle of the two lanes of oncoming traffic (i.e. drive along the white dotted lines).

On the next right there is a ramp. Drive up it and to get on the roof of a building with a customer. Enable the "Another day mode" code, then begin the game in original mode. There is a hidden customer in the water by the pier. There is a subway station downtown. Get in by driving down the stairs to find a customer that wants to be taken to another subway station. Just follow the railroad to the next station (the destination may vary) to get some extra cash. Try not to crash, because it will take a lot of time to get back on your way. A hidden customer is near the parking structure. Drive up the ramp and slowly fall off the end of the structure on the far left side. You will see a green customer on the roof of the building you just landed on. Pick him up. He wants to go 2000 yards and will pay $975 to go to the police station.Strange customersDrive down to the beach and into the water in arcade mode.

If it starts moving sideways to go around you, slowly move forward. If you do this long enough, it will suddenly disappear and the train will move very strangely backwards and forwards in a jerking motion, while the engine moves around everywhere. If you are in a tunnel, it moves up and down to where it goes through the tunnel and disappears, reappears, then repeats the process.
