Controls:
Desktop: Arrow keys or W/A/S/D to steer, brake, and reverse.
Mobile: On screen buttons for steering and throttle; swipe or tap to fine-tune your approach.
Tip: If you’re on keyboard, nudge the keys in taps instead of holding them pulse steering keeps the taxi straighter.
Park The Taxi Game 3 sounds simple on paper: drive the cab, slide it into the painted box, collect your points. In practice, it’s a tiny ballet of mirrors, angles, and second-guesses. You feather the throttle, the rear swings a touch wider than expected, and suddenly the perfect line you pictured in your head… isn’t. That’s the charm. The game rewards calm hands and small corrections, not bravado. Each lot feels a little different tight alleys, awkward curbs, a cone placed one meter closer than you’d like and the faster you try to rush through them, the more likely you are to ping a bumper and reset your score. It’s less “arcade speed” and more “find the rhythm,” which, depending on your mood, may be exactly what you want.
What makes Park The Taxi Games 3 click is how readable its parking physics feel. The cab’s nose rotates quickly, but the rear follows with a slight delay, which appears to mimic the “tail drag” you notice in real cars. Line up a shallow entry, pause a beat in neutral, and the car “settles” into the slot. Overdo it, and you’ll get that familiar pinball effect one correction creates three more. The game isn’t cruel, but it does keep score honestly: clips, scrapes, and overshoots cost time and multipliers. When you nail a bay in one smooth arc, it’s weirdly satisfying like landing a pool shot you weren’t sure would drop.
Quick tips to score high
• Set up early: Square the taxi two car lengths before the bay. A good approach angle saves half your steering.
• Go slow to go fast: Idle speed plus tiny steering inputs usually beats sprint-and-slam.
• Use a reference: Pick a dash point (wiper post, hood corner) and align it with the bay’s far line. Consistency = speed.
• One clean pull-up: If the angle’s wrong, roll forward a meter, re-center, and try again. It’s faster than wrestling a bad line.
• Commit to a camera: Switching views mid-maneuver is disorienting. Find your favorite (rear three-quarter for most) and stick with it.
Common mistakes (and fixes)
• Full-lock steering in reverse → jackknifes the car. Fix: quarter-turn taps with brief pauses.
• Staring at the hood → you miss the rear swing. Fix: watch the rear corners and the bay’s far line.
• Braking while steering hard → the front pushes wide. Fix: steer, then brake; never both at once at speed.
• Rushing the last meter → most cones die here. Fix: coast the final roll; treat the stop like pouring tea, not slamming a door.
• Camera panic → spinning the view burns time. Fix: set the angle before you enter the bay.

FAQ
Q: Is speed or accuracy more important?
A: Accuracy first. The fastest scores usually come from one-and-done parks with zero corrections.
Q: Best way to reverse into tight bays?
A: Start slightly offset, reverse slowly until the taxi “breaks” angle, then catch the swing with tiny counter-steer.
Q: Keyboard or touch what’s easier?
A: Keyboard offers crisp taps; touch feels more analog. If you over-steer on mobile, lower sensitivity in settings (if available).
Q: Can I recover a bad approach without restarting?
A: Yes—use a short pull-up. One reset is cheaper than three frantic wiggles.
