- Added ability for vehicle's wheels to rotate and turn left and right

This is a mesh override for the Late Night decorative/ghost taxi, which is a separate object from the regular taxi, replacing it with Ophernelia's Chicago-inspired decorative TS4 city transit bus, edited with enhanced higher quality textures and more detailed exterior.

To clarify, the ghost taxi I’m referring to is the imposter object used to generate fake decorative traffic around town.

Mesh details:
High LOD - 2.7k vertices, 2.7k faces
Medium LOD - 1.6k vertices, 1.4k faces
Low LOD - 0.9k vertices, 0.8k faces

Note for NRaas Traffic users:
By default NRass Traffic increases the fake/decorative taxi traffic. Due to vehicle's larger size and slightly higher polygon count than the original decorative object, it’s recommended to set your Traffic Delta (City Hall > NRaas > Traffic > Traffic Delta) to a negative value of around -25 to -50, which is closer to game defaults. This reduces the number of decorative taxis spawning around town and helps prevent the lag, caused by their high number cruising around town!
