On a run to Sarsfield, I lost a squad. 3 cars down, and one taxi client (out of 6) died.

The rest walked back to Badlands. Given that they were MUCH nearer to Sarsfield, that's annoying, but not the bug.

They've now all arrived in Badlands. My 3 gangers are safely there. But the clients are refusing to get in my cars!

More acccurately:
- I can find the clients on the My Missions screen, and it says that they are all in Badlands Truck Stop.
- When I go to load up my cars, the clients are not available in the list of crew members.

I wonder if this is just a flag not set up for "taxi clients who end up walking, make sure that they are available for onward travel."

Or maybe this is a feature, not a bug, and taxi clients who get shot up and have to walk won't get back in the same gangs vehicles?

Mission ID: 316284
Event where it all went wrong: S1001970

Once you have a transport encounter where taxi clients end up walking back to town, the mission has failed. You can still find them in town, but they will not go any further. They will stay in that town, then disappear once the timer expires. So, its not a bug, just how the failed mission plays out until its over.

Ah, ok, thank you. I thought I could still get them there. (I mean, what's being shot up and walking once or twice? This is Evan, after all.
