How a shift works

Every ride is a small job with its own rules. Do it well and the passenger pays more, rates you higher and tips.

  1. Take the fare

    Offers pop up on the taxi phone on your dashboard: ride type, pickup distance, destination and estimated pay. One tap to accept. Wait too long and the offer is gone.

  2. Pick up at the kerb

    The GPS guides you to the street where your passenger waits. Pull over, and they get in.

  3. Drive it their way

    Some passengers are late, some want a spotless driving record, some want to see the sights. Red lights, give-way, speed cameras and the traffic of the hour are all on your side of the windscreen.

  4. Get paid

    The fare by the kilometre, the ride bonus and a tip for good driving, minus any penalty. Your rating moves with every receipt.

  5. Spend it well

    Fuel, repairs and insurance keep you on the road. The rest goes on a better car, a new paint job, and the next district.

Five kinds of passenger

Each ride type has its own condition, shown on one gauge while you drive. New types open as your level and rating grow.

Get them there

The everyday fare: pick up, drive, drop off. The meter runs by the kilometre and a smooth, clean ride earns the tip.

Built from the city's own data

The map is not drawn by hand. It is generated from the open data Paris and the national mapping agency publish, then dressed street by street.

The taxi at night under the street lamps of the 8th arrondissement

  • Real streets

    Every street of the 8e with its real name, lanes, one-way direction and speed limit.

  • Real traffic

    The number of cars follows the city's road sensor counts for the weekday and hour you play.

  • Your clock, your weather

    Day and night follow your phone's clock, the sun moves, the lamps come on. Rain changes the grip, the light and the crowd.

  • The monuments

    The Arc de Triomphe, the Concorde, the Grand Palais, the Madeleine, Saint-Augustin, Saint-Lazare, Parc Monceau and more.

  • Street life

    Pedestrians and cyclists by place, hour and weather, red lights, speed cameras, and filling stations where the real ones stand.

From a city hybrid to a people carrier

Your garage is your home base, in 3D. Each car is a choice, not just an upgrade: the cheapest to run, the most comfortable, the one that earns most per ride.

  1. City Hybrid

    Your first cab. Barely burns fuel in traffic. Standard, Rush, Strict and Tourist rides.

  2. Saloon

    The first upgrade, a couple of hours in. Opens Premium rides.

  3. Crossover

    More comfort, bigger tips. From level 3.

  4. Crossover Sport

    Comfort and pace for Rush and Premium. From level 4.

  5. People Carrier

    Seven seats, the best pay per ride, the dearest to keep. From level 6.

Dents have consequences

Fifteen parts take damage, from mirrors to the radiator, and each changes the car: a flat tyre pulls, a cracked windscreen puts passengers off. Repair at the garage, take a roadside quick fix, or let your insurance pay.

A licence to keep

Level up with every ride, keep your rating high and your licence points intact. Speed-camera fines arrive on the taxi phone a little later, as in life.

Always something next

Three objectives at a time, a paint shop for your colours, and a tally of every street you have driven for those who want them all.

The 8e today. The rest of Paris next.

The game opens with the whole 8th arrondissement, free. Leave it and the police wave you back: the other districts are closed by checkpoints and roadworks until they open.

The 7e, 16e and 17e are planned next, then district by district towards all twenty. After that, a shared city where drivers race each other for the same fares.

Questions

Is Taxi Simulator: Real Paris 3D free?

Yes. The game is free to download and play. At launch there are no ads and no in-app purchases.

Is it really Paris?

The streets are. The road network, street names, lanes, one-way streets, speed limits and buildings come from open map data of the city (IGN, OpenStreetMap, Paris Open Data). Monuments are modelled after the real places, without being exact copies.

Which part of Paris can I drive?

The whole 8th arrondissement: the Champs-Élysées, the Étoile, the Concorde, the Madeleine, Saint-Lazare, Parc Monceau and every street between them. The edges of the neighbouring districts are in view, and the 7th, 16th and 17th are the next districts planned.

Which phones does it run on?

Android phones first. An iPhone version follows. Graphics adapt to the phone so the game stays smooth.

How do I steer?

With an on-screen wheel or by tilting the phone, with pedals, a handbrake and a horn. Driving aids go from Full to Simulation, and you can move the pedals to either side.

Is there multiplayer?

Not at launch: the first version is solo. A shared city where drivers compete for the same fares, with a ranking, is planned for a later version.

Which languages are available?

English and French, in the game and on this site.

I found a bug. How do I report it?

Tap the flag on the driving screen: it sends us a picture of the spot and where your car is, so we can fix it. You can also write to us from the contact page.

Your cab is waiting at the Étoile.
