CD Projekt Red has posted a tweet about Cyberpunk 2077‘s in-game Delamain taxi service, and the reactions? Well, the streets of Night City have always been pathological cesspools! The official Cyberpunk 2077 account said that Delamain provided safe rides with a no-question policy anywhere in Night City, but, by God, the players had so many questions-and so many complaints about it.
Let’s first consider: The tweet was basically a cheap ad from Delamain for taxi service that “full coverage of all Night City districts,” fair pricing, and they would never be hacked, unlike the shady AutoDrive module. The gamers were having none of it; they stormed the replies demanding anything from new cosmetics to straight examples of taxi AI.
One user, @WrathOfGrapesN7, commented ironically about being stuck in traffic “on an empty road” while taking a Delamain taxi. On the other hand, another user, @4f4113n4ng31, called out the broken traffic AI with somewhat sterner language, “AutoDrive does not work correctly because traffic AI has been broken since the game was released.” Ouch.
But not all were sour; users like @neonsagehq thought the taxi service was rare but worth it in a city where trust is almost nonexistent. Meanwhile, @AndrewFWall said he wanted more ambiance from Night City—more rides from hiding out in a rain-soaked taxi to neon-lit blurry outskirts. That’s a mood.
Then there are those other requests—after all, why limit yourself to a taxi when you can ask for everything? @GizmoGa30952150 begged for a “fashion update” for new cosmetics (samurai helmet, please), while @JosevOaks requested dual-wield handguns, with @DilirIbne throwing in yet another eternal plea: “One day this game will get the third-person feature.” (Spoiler alert from @Brianharld: That feature is already achieved by modders.)
Then came the real drama started with players like @DIYMaker_Johan—who boasts over 1,800 hours into Cyberpunk 2077—continuing to call out bugs and unfinished features. “Maybe fix the game first,” he said, before awkwardly backtracking: “No no, I’m not hating. I love the game… 😮💨” Relatable.
So far, Delamain has fans and haters and a huge crowd of players who want nothing more than CD Projekt Red to fix the dang traffic AI. So, whether you use the taxis to add to your immersion or just avoid them like a glitched-out side quest, one thing is for sure: Ever since their inception in Night City, the taxis have divided public opinion.
At the very least, this was yet another shot of that infamous Cyberpunk 2077 energy, where every update announcement is turned into a frenzied mix of love, frustration, and hairdo requests. Never change, chooms.
Alright, if you’ll excuse me, I am now going to stare blankly at the neon haze through the window of a virtual taxi and absorb some synthwave vibes. Later.
