How to play

Every day the cab is somewhere new: a real square of a real city's streets, with five fares to pick up and drop off. Get everyone where they're going on as little fuel as you can.

  1. Fuel is what counts. The cab burns it by the metre (8 litres per 100 km), so a long block costs more than a short one, however many junctions you pass.
  2. You drive a block at a time: from a junction along a street to the next junction. The streets you can take from here glow yellow. Tap one, then Drive (or tap it again). With a mouse, click it. The arrow keys pick one and Enter drives.
  3. One-way streets are one way. The arrows on them show which.
  4. Round pins are fares waiting; their square pins are where they're going. Drive to a fare and they get in; drive to their square and they get out.
  5. The cab has three seats. Anyone waiting where you stop gets in if there's room, whether you meant to fetch them or not.
  6. Drag the map to turn and tilt it, pinch or scroll to zoom. ⤾ swings it a quarter turn.
  7. Par is the least fuel it can be done on. You get three tries, with the same streets and fares; the best counts. Once they're used up you can watch the shortest way round.
