#### 🚀 Starting Your Shift

**Step 1: Getting on Duty**

**Note**: You must be on duty before customers will spawn and missions will be available.

**Step 2: Getting Your Vehicle**

1. **Access Garage Menu**
2. **Choose Vehicle**: Browse available taxi vehicles for your selected company
3. **Spawn Vehicle**: Select a vehicle and it will spawn at the designated garage location

#### ✅ Legal Missions (Standard Taxi Rides)

Legal missions are the regular taxi rides that make up most of your work. Here's how to complete them:

**Step 1: Finding a Customer**

1. **Look for Yellow Markers**: Yellow circular markers will appear on your map indicating customer pickup locations
2. **Customer Arrow**: When you get close (within 60 meters), a yellow arrow will appear above the waiting customer
3. **Drive to Location**: Navigate to the marker using your GPS or map

**Step 2: Picking Up the Customer**

1. **Stop Near Customer**: Park your taxi close to the customer (they will automatically detect your vehicle)
2. **Customer Approaches**: The NPC will walk toward your taxi and enter automatically
3. **Wait for Entry**: Give the customer a few seconds to get into the vehicle
4. **Destination Given**: Once inside, the customer will tell you their destination and a GPS route will appear

**Step 3: Driving to Destination**

1. **Follow GPS**: Use the GPS route displayed on your map to navigate to the destination
2. **Yellow Destination Marker**: A yellow marker will show where to drop off the customer
3. **Drive Safely**:
   * **Speed Limit**: Keep your speed under 100 km/h (65 mph) to avoid customer complaints
   * **Avoid Damage**: Don't crash or damage your vehicle, or the customer may exit angrily
   * **Smooth Driving**: Smooth, professional driving earns better tips

**Step 4: Conversations During the Trip**

During the trip, passengers may start conversations with you:

1. **Conversation Prompt**: A notification will appear with a question from the passenger
2. **Answer Options**: You'll see two options:
   * Press **Y** for Option A
   * Press **U** for Option B
3. **Time Limit**: You have 12 seconds to respond (configurable)
4. **Tips**: Correct answers improve your tip multiplier:
   * **Excellent** (80%+ correct): 2.0x tip bonus
   * **Good** (60-79% correct): 1.5x tip bonus
   * **Average** (40-59% correct): 1.0x (no bonus/penalty)
   * **Poor** (<40% correct): 0.7x (30% penalty)

**Pro Tip**: Answer honestly and thoughtfully - the conversations are moral dilemmas, not just random questions!

**Step 5: Completing the Trip**

1. **Arrive at Destination**: Stop at the yellow destination marker
2. **Customer Exits**: The customer will automatically exit your vehicle
3. **Payment Received**: You'll receive payment based on:
   * Base fare (minimum payment)
   * Distance traveled (per kilometer rate)
   * Trip quality (conversation performance affects tips)
   * Time of day (night rates are higher)
4. **Trip Summary**: A detailed trip summary will appear showing:
   * Total distance traveled
   * Total fare earned
   * Items received (if configured)
   * Trip duration

**Step 6: What Happens Next?**

* **Customer Walks Away**: The customer will walk away and despawn after a short distance
* **New Customer Available**: A new customer will spawn at a random pickup location
* **Repeat**: Continue picking up customers to earn more money!

3. **Escape Methods**:
   * **Distance**: Get 250+ meters away from chasers

   * **Chase Bonus**: Extra money (default: $150)
   * **Bonus Items**: Additional items if configured
5. **Chaser Behavior**: Chasers will:
