Overview
taxi-pick-up is curb-side micro-routing, and clean phases make it feel professional. Approach steady, align shallow to the curb so the nose doesn’t swing wide, stop square, and leave in one motion once the window opens. Read pedestrian and traffic signals as time cues—green-to-walk or yellow-to-stop often preview clean exits better than vehicle lanes alone. Treat curb length as margin; if the line shortens, adjust early rather than forcing a tight angle. Feather throttle on entry and exit so movements look deliberate, not jerky. The puzzle is less about speed and more about crisp choreography: park, stop, leave. When the phase rhythm holds, scrapes vanish and timing stops feeling random. It’s a small drill that turns routine into polish.
