Homer's boss, Mr. Burns, lives up to his greedy reputation when he buys the local transit system and raises all the fares to outrageous rates. The resourceful citizens of Springfield vow to drive themselves around instead of paying the ridiculous mass transit fees. Now the streets are crowded with frustrated motorists. Only by running errands and making deliveries can the downtrodden masses of Springfield earn enough money to buy back the transit system and return the roadways to their former state of relative efficiency. Road Rage merges the lighthearted mission-based driving of Crazy Taxi with the characters and settings featured in the popular animated television series, The Simpsons.
