- There are no opening or closing credits; only movie's title and remark about lack of closing credits because Iran's ministry of culture and Islamic guidance only approves the credits of distributable films appear at the end.
- The 14th best film of the year 2015 in 'Sight and Sound' magazine's annual critics poll. [Nov. 2015]
- While Panahi filmed his previous two films In film nist (2011) and Pardé (2013) in the secrecy of his home, Taxi (2015) was filmed on the streets of Tehran, but the camera never leaves the taxi.
- The film is completely set in one car and the cameras never leave it.
- The film was shot using three small Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Cameras in the taxi to avoid attracting attention outside of the car and to protect the actors' security.
