Why are there so many damned taxi's

[Yes]

I have one taxi depo (55 taxis), and there are at least 200 taxis from other cities!
Anyone have a way to fix this?

How much other public transit do you have in your city? Once I stood up all my main line bus routes, the external taxis basically disappeared.

200? That's lightweight, how big is your city?

your own taxis don't drive to other cities.
Taxis are some kind of public transport - and as long as you don't set up alternative public transport routes/lines (bus/train) to other cities, visitors come with taxis.

Make sure your city got good public transportation. Just like in my city that has 465k pop and ~250k uses a form of transpo. Most citizens use the subway (237k) compared to a few who chooses to use the taxi (~760)

The taxis are there since tourists want to visit your city. Train, boat and/or plane connections are not enough; there are always people preferring the car.

What you need to do is the following:
1) build a bus station close to the border.
2) create a bus line connecting the border with the bus station
3) create a bus line connecting the bus station with the city, preferably the closest bus / metro / train station

Problem gone.

I wonder if we are just not used to building transport on map edge.

It's not just that. Figures don't seem correct for the busline going abroad. Passengers at the stop abroad area always indicated as 0, but if you are patient enough to let the simulation run, busses are nevertheless entering your city with lots of passengers.

no, is a bug or feature XD and it´s a Citypainter

The biggest wave of taxis occurs when you zone new residential areas and the people move in.

To reduce this you can build external bus lines (use the end of the external streets as waypoints) or passenger trains or let the game run some time after zoning new residential zones.

This is same with traffic jams arround new zoned areas, wait before you optimize traffic because the traffic to move in will reduce after some time.

This guy is right again

To avoid taxis from outside use the mod "magic taxi"

But you need public transport connections like bus or train from outside.

It's better not to place any taxi depo in your city, check this >> https://steamcommunity.com/app/949230/discussions/0/4364625713977633758/
