Probably because of the availability and price vs the cost of driving themselves.

Up the taxi charge in city policies. :D

Maybe tourists coming in by taxi because your city has lots of taxi availability. Give them a bus to use instead.

Are you building near the border of your cities, I notice taxis are crazy building near the border

Can anyone please help me, my taxis caused insane amounts of traffic, so I removed the taxi depots but the taxis won't disappear

Thank you!

Taxis are often used when there is no suitable alternative mass transit option, especially with outside connections. I had hundreds of taxis clogging my city until I plopped mass transit lines to my outside connections.

Make sure these transit lines have stops where your taxis would otherwise want to go.

I hope this helps!

New York City taxis are the most glamorous.

Taxis will be there even if you don't have the taxi depot, they will come from outside the city. try train, so your cims can have otrher mass transit routes. Worked for me, although the taxis were still there, just not as much.

As it has already been mentioned, it already helps if you create some buslines to outside the city but unfortunately not to the extent that we need.
Also, the closer the city to the map border, the worse the situation seems to become.

It seems, (outside) taxis need to be rebalanced, they should be the most expensive way of transportation - as they are in real life - and therefore the ones to be least used, especially for long distances..

I guess the only real solution to the masses of taxis from outside the city is to cut off all roads to outside the map and let all exchange to outside happen only via trains, planes and ships.

Ok, Thanks to KamikazeJo, aaaaaalkocho and sternenstaub70 for helping me. I was really frustrated and confused about why they were still there, but now I know. Thank You!

Literally this is the issue. I put up bus lines to the outside road connections and to where all the taxis were going and they literally disappeared.

That's just your new voters getting shipped in from the Texas border. You ever wonder how you never lose re-elections in this game as the mayor? Now you know.

This makes it worthwhile to visit the Steam forums

Every time one thinks it can't get more idiotic with flop games,
then such great screenshots are posted
