GTA Online: New Fast Travel Service (PS5 / Xbox Series X|S)
On January 19, 2023, Rockstar implemented a new Fast Travel service in GTA Online, that allows players to instantly travel around the map.
This new feature is exclusive to players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The GTA Online Fast Travel service works similarly to Story Mode, by simply entering a Taxi Cab and skipping the ride to teleport to the chosen location.
However, unlike single-player, in GTA Online you can't skip the trip to any specific waypoint: you can only fast travel to a list of 10 fixed destinations across the map, called "points of interest".
Skipping the Taxi trip costs $1,000 for regular players, while it's free for GTA+ members. There is also a 48-minute cooldown between Trip Skips, which is lowered to only 5 minutes for GTA+ members.
Vapid Taxi in Real Life:
The design of the Vapid Taxi is based on a real life Ford Crown Victoria.
Vapid Taxi Top Speed:
The actual top speed of the Taxi in GTA V is 102.00 mph (164.15 km/h), as it's been accurately tested in-game by Broughy1322.
Can you sell the Taxi in GTA Online?
No, you cannot sell the Taxi. Unfortunately in GTA Online it's not possible to sell Special Vehicles, Pegasus, or Facility Vehicles.
