Alright, so the other day I was messing around in GTA Online, right? And I was super far from my next objective, like, across the whole map. Usually, I’d just grab a fast car and go, but I was feeling lazy. Then I remembered the taxi service. I’d used it before, but mostly just for a quick ride, never really skipping the whole trip.
Figuring Out the Skip
So, I called up Downtown Cab Co. on my phone, got a taxi to show up, and hopped in. I set the waypoint marker on my objective like always, and the driver started heading that way. Now, here’s where I got stuck: I tried every button on my controller! Shooting, honking, changing the radio… nothing worked to skip! I was starting to think you just couldn’t do it.
I kept messing around, getting frustrated. I was even chatting to my friend who plays, and he wasn’t sure either. It was on the tip of my tongue, I knew I skipped trips before!
The “Aha!” Moment
Then, it finally hit me! I remembered there’s usually a little prompt on the screen, something that tells you what buttons to press. And sure enough, there it was, real small in the corner: “Skip Destination”. The button I needed was not obvious at all!
- For Xbox: it was the ‘A’ button.
- For PlayStation: it should be the ‘X’ button.
I mashed that button and boom! A short black screen, and I was right at my objective. No long drive, no hassle. Saved me a bunch of time, seriously.
My Takeaway
So, yeah, you can totally skip taxi rides in GTA Online. The trick is to look for that little on-screen prompt and use the right button. Don’t be like me and waste time trying everything else. Just find that “Skip Destination” option, and you’re golden. Now, every time I call a cab, I just set the waypoint, wait for the prompt, and skip the trip. Easy peasy!
