Taxi Driver
“"Get in the taxi and prepare for the ride of your life!"”
― CREISI, Dream BBQ
The Taxi Driver is a character in Dream BBQ. He appears in Uncanny Streets.
Appearance
The Taxi Driver is a giant humanoid wearing a white dress shirt, a blue necktie, black pants, and black ranger boots. One of his arms is rigid while the other is a bendy tentacle arm. White gloves cover both hands. Atop his neck is a group of spindly brown bits making up his neck joint that his heads connect to. He has three heads and a hat. One of the heads is a multicolored mask, primarily blue, with yellow eyes. Another is a light purple skull-like face with piano keys for teeth. The final one is a humanoid face with closed eyes and pursed lips. Beams on his back support what seems to be an advertising poster for the Purge Event, featuring several characters, including Bunrako-man.
Personality
Each head has a different personality. The blue head (CREISI) is easily irritable; it is upset when asked what its job is and wasn't happy to see one of The Witches not bother to ask it for directions. The skull head (DOOM) is gloomy, speaking of darkness and suffering. The human head (SOCIO) is a bit impudent and has some of their dialogue censored by beeps, despite the mismatched subtitles making it seem polite.
Overview
He can be found on the right side of Uncanny Steets, with no heads. Ena can pick up a job from FEN to collect his heads, which were hidden underground by a Wanderer. She can access the caves either through a hole in a building or by crawling into the Taxi Driver's sleeve, with the latter dropping Ena right in front of where the missing heads are located. When he has his heads again, he tells Ena his job is to send people to the upper area of Uncanny Streets. Ena can then take his taxi to go there.

Trivia
- The head that speaks to Ena is random per playthrough.
- The SOCIO head speaks Chilean Spanish, including slang associated with flaite youth culture. The SOCIO head's subtitles also do not match with what they are actually saying.
- Upon dropping the taxi in the Dark Uncanny Streets, the SOCIO head's subtitles say "Have fun at the Extinction Party!! Wait, wrong event."
- "Creisi" is a Spanish term borrowed from English "crazy" and has the same meaning.
