I’m assuming they’d make it so that you can’t enter a taxi while in that mode. Also you can probably get killed before you even choose where to go id assume23@Connor___939 @TezFunz2 In gtav once you shoot you go into some sort of “combat mode” where you change your stance.

The feature allows players to travel to any location almost instantly, skipping the entire journey. Players can use the fast travel option by following the steps below:Open the map and mark the destination with a location marker.Request a pickup by calling the Taxi service on the phone. You can also catch empty cabs running in the streets.Enter the Taxi as a passenger.Begin your journey to the specified destination.Once the ride has begun, an option to skip the trip will appear. Press the appropriate button to bypass the journey and teleport to your destination.This option comes in handy when in a rush situation. However, using the feature raises the cab fare. Rockstar is rumored to be adding the same option for free to GTA+ members.
