    **MISSABLE**

    First of all, This achievement/trophy is possible to miss if you make the wrong decisions in story mode. I believe this achievement/trophy is only possible to unlock after you meet little Jacob. If you reach the end of the story mode with Roman's like stat never having been at or above 60% and you choose the 'Deal' mission thread then you will not be able to obtain this achievement/trophy. The only way to guarantee it remains unlockable is by choosing the 'Revenge' mission strand near the end of the story mode.
    *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***
    That being said It is very easy to earn this trophy at the beginning of the story, as long as you don't upset Roman which will bring down his like percentage.

    To unlock Roman's taxi ability and the achievement/trophy, you need to befriend Roman so that his "like" percentage reaches 60% or above. Progress can be tracked by going to the Start Menu and going to Stats --> General and viewing 'Roman Like'. There is no rhyme or reason to when he will offer his services. Once you have reached the necessary "Like" level, sometime in the future, he will give you a call to offer his ability to you, so once you have the correct stats, just be patient. You can save and sleep to advance time but make sure you always answer Roman when he calls. When you start the game, his like level is already over 75%, so some people believe that it has to be 75% to unlock the achievement, however the actual criteria is to maintain 60%+. Just be patient, you have to wait until he calls you and tells you he can send someone to drive you, if you feel like it is taking too long you can call him and this reportedly will spur him into calling you back. He is awake 24 hours a day, and his special ability will go away if you drop below 15%. If you don't want to actually spend time hanging out with him but also don't want his like level to drop, accept what he wants to do when he calls you but then call him back to cancel the plans. Since his like level starts above what you actually need all you have to do is prevent it from going down by not answering or declining his plans.

    Roman's special ability is that you can call him up and he will send a taxi to pick you up and take you anywhere, free of charge. This can be used as a sort of fast travel and is extremely useful to travel around the map quickly. To access Roman's special ability, open the cell phone menu, open the phone book, scroll down to Roman, select him and scroll to his special ability, select it to ask for it. If he is available to help you, he will tell you, though sometimes he may be busy, as he has his own life as well. Roman's friendship and special ability is not needed for Gold Key To The City trophy, but is needed for the Silver Liberty City (5) trophy on PS.

    If you are having trouble unlocking this create a new game and play to the section where you meet Little Jacob. You will go on a mission where he gives you a pistol to cover him from above in an alley as he attempts to make a drug deal. Stop progressing through the story. Roman will now call you a bunch of time and during one of those calls he will ask to hang out. Make sure you hang out with him and shortly after he will offer you his cab service. It usually takes about 30 mins to get to that point.
