You are given a loan of 150 to get you going, this is for 100 units of fuel and a cash float of 50. It costs one unit of fuel for each turn when driving around, it costs another point each time you call up control for a fare to pick up, this is added to your bill at the end. You are not offered the same fare twice, if you miss it and someone else takes it, you call up again for a new one and make sure you remember at least where the fare is to be picked up from, you get reminders of where they are going once you have them in the cab.
There are some points to remember about the likely fares in this town, the first is that if you go to a call, it is a higher fare than if you pick up when being flagged down in the street. It is an average that about 20% give a tip, it is also symptomatic of the crime in this town that about 5% will rob you. It is also worth noting that if you drive around long enough to do the late shift, that the level of tips and crime both rise!
Don't forget to refuel when you are at the filling station, it costs 50 to get towed in so check the fuel level. Good Look! you'll need it.
