Taxi Driver Career
April 25, 2026 at 11:22 AM
Initial version
The Taxi Driver Career is a planned career path for inZOI that will let Zois work as professional taxi drivers. The career was announced as part of the September 2026 update in the 2026 Roadmap Part 1 letter published on December 26, 2025. As of April 25, 2026, the feature has not yet shipped on the live build (v0.7.5) and remains in active development.
The Taxi Driver Career is bundled with broader Vehicle Repair content. Both the call-taxi player feature and the taxi-driver-as-employer side ship in the same update, creating a complete taxi ecosystem where Zois can hail rides as customers or work as drivers professionally.
Note: A Rookie Taxi Driver position already exists on Cahaya as part of the Cahaya Careers added in the August 2025 Island Getaway DLC. The September 2026 expansion is expected to broaden taxi work into a full active career path with multi-city availability and player-controlled driving.
Component | Description |
|---|---|
Active Career Type | Players will control their Zoi during shifts as a taxi driver, picking up passengers and driving them to destinations. |
Multi-City Availability | Unlike the Cahaya-only Rookie Taxi Driver from August 2025, the September 2026 career will be available in Dowon and Bliss Bay alongside Cahaya. |
Customer Pickup | Passengers will hail taxis or call them through the smartphone Call Taxi feature. Drivers receive ride requests and navigate to pickup points. |
Vehicle Driving | Builds on the existing Driving and Vehicles system. Manual driving mode lets players steer the taxi directly using WASD; automatic mode handles the navigation. |
The Rookie Taxi Driver position at Jallan Network on Cahaya was added in v0.3.0 (August 20, 2025) as a rabbit-hole career with three rank tiers:
Rank | Daily Salary |
|---|---|
Rookie Taxi Driver | 270 Meow |
Reliable Driver | 540 Meow |
Premium Driver | 950 Meow |
This existing career is rabbit-hole only. Drivers do not actively control vehicles during shifts under the August 2025 implementation. The September 2026 expansion is expected to convert taxi work into an active career where players directly drive customers between locations.
The September 2026 update bundles vehicle and travel content:
Vehicle Repair, car washes, audio systems, and in-car conversations.
Call Taxi smartphone feature for player customers.
Taxi Driver Career (this article) for player drivers.
City festivals and user-created custom holidays.
