Everytime you enter a taxi you get 12$ and its so strange WHY?

Some vehicles have special abilities.
Taxi-what you said,you get 12$
Police car-You get 5 Shotgun rounds
Ambulance-Your health gets filled(of course only if you don't have max health).
It's the same with almost every III and IV era game.

The S.W.A.T. Truck gives CJ an Amoured Vest.
The ambulance only gives CJ a partial health restore (like buying a lunch/soda pop.)
After 50% flying skill is accheived any aircraft will allow CJ a parachute if he jumps.
completing the submission with the Fire Truck makes CJ fireproof.
completing the Paramedic missions extends CJ's Health Bar.
completing the Vigilantee missions increases the effectiveness of CJ's Body Armour by 50%.
completing the Pimp Mobile missions will allow CJ to recieve payment from the Pros instead of him paying them.

Actually that is 40% flying skill for the complimentary parachute.

Unlike the other bonuses you can get multiple parachutes from the same flying vehicle, provided the vehicle isn't destroyed after you jump from it.
The Vortex count as flying vehicle in this regard, so you can get parachutes from a Vortex too.

Man, still after beating the game 50+ times I never knew you got 12 bucks from getting in a taxi.

probably because they are definitely my last resort as a vehicle and if I got stranded I would literally rather a perennial
