Grand Theft Auto Online is the expansive multiplayer component of the seemingly ever-popular Grand Theft Auto 5. Players can complete missions and take part in a variety of activities in the game's open-world map, which is set in the fictional state of San Andreas and features the metropolis of Los Santos. GTA Online’s open-ended gameplay allows players to roam freely and participate in random events and challenges—or they can even get a job. While some jobs involve managing businesses like nightclubs or carrying out heists in order to improve their character and earn money, they can also take on simple jobs like being a taxi driver.
Grand Theft Auto Online Could Be Rockstar's Secret Weapon in the Leadup to GTA 6
GTA Online has been going strong for over a decade, and it's the perfect platform to rev up even more hype ahead of GTA 6's launch.
Reddit user known as KyotoJF has taken his Grand Theft Auto Online job very seriously. The player completed 156 fares and made more than $2 million doing taxi work. He explained to the community that achieving this took him 7 hours and 39 minutes, which is remarkable considering that the base fare rate is approximately $100–$200—though tips can be up to $2,000, depending on the player's driving performance.
GTA Online Player Makes Over $2 Million Doing Taxi Work
Taxi work was introduced in GTA Online’s Los Santos Drug Wars update, alongside new story missions, and players can easily engage in this activity by following a few simple steps. GTA fans on the Reddit community were impressed by KyotoJF’s grind, writing humorous comments like “Brother putting in more work on the game than in real life.” A couple of other players were surprised that they didn’t get bored doing the taxi job, as one of them said they did 11 fares and had to stop because of how tedious it is. Another player noted that instead of doing taxi work, the same amount of money can be made with two Dr. Dre contracts, which would likely take about 2 hours.
Even after the game's release over a decade ago, hundreds of players continue to spend endless hours in the virtual world of Grand Theft Auto Online. While fans keep waiting for the delayed release of GTA 6, GTA Online continues releasing updates, bringing new features and content to keep the game fresh and engaging for fans.
