Another feature from everyone's favorite Vice City, which was very useful for the players. Perhaps this is not what you expected when looking at the title. This is an opportunity to get a taxi to the starting point of some mission in case of its failure.
Now, if you die while completing a task, or you are arrested, then after you appear at the appropriate point (hospital or police station) not far from you (on the road or sidewalk), a taxi will appear that will kindly give you a lift to the starting point your failed mission, if you sit in it (you won't be able to steal it). It is highlighted with a marker and will take you to your destination in a couple of seconds (remember how the screen darkened when using it in Vice City?).
