Trivia

• His query line could possibly be a reference to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
• Since Taximan Dave has no horse, that could only mean two things. One, he is a magical being posing as a normal Vesterian, or two, he is swole as hell and can give Chad depression, like Blacksmith Gregor.

• Taximan Dave is also a discord bot in the Vesteria Discord server who plays the smoothest jazz 24/7.
• His brother died to the Spider Queen.
• Since he claims he doesn’t have a horse but instead only a cart, he likely draws the cart himself and tows the player around at imperceptible speeds.
• All his other dialogues include "Taximan Dave doesn't" at the start and ", silly!" at the end.
• Before June 26th, 2021, he would only fast travel to player to a set list of locations for a price, with the price varying on how far away the player currently was from it.
  • However, on 11/09/2021, Taximan Dave now charges a price again, however, still allowing players to access any location they previously visited (excluding Forsaken Isle and The Wayfarer). ඞ
