The Last Taxi is a roaming Side Story built around seven abnormal cabs across Manhattan. You do not solve it from one quest marker; each encounter begins when you find the local taxi and answer Mila at its payphone.
What should I look for?
Look for a yellow taxi positioned like an encounter rather than ordinary street dressing, then listen and watch for the nearby phone interaction. The taxi guide pages use durable landmarks because the city map can be harder to read than the streets themselves.
What happens after the call?
The call moves Dylan into a short Threshold test. Each test has three selection rounds. A green traffic light confirms a correct pick; a wrong selection repeats or resets the current test rather than permanently failing the Side Story.
Do I need a fixed order?
The locations are presented as a route, but the useful rule is simpler: clear any accessible taxi and track the remaining zones. If a route is blocked by story progression, move to another region and return later.
