I have a question.
“I took a taxi to be in the meeting” is true.
“I took a taxi in order to be in time the meeting” is wrong.
I can’t understand why...
Hi bro, both are actually incorrect.
There's many ways of saying that sentence though, a few..
In order to make the meeting, I took a taxi.
I took a taxi to get to the meeting on time.
I took a taxi to the meeting.
Depends what you want to stress. 👍

Pavin gave some good examples. Your second sentence could be be easily corrected like this:
I took a taxi in order to be in time FOR the meeting.

2 things:
you can't be "in time" - its "on time"
and you, the person have to be in relation to the meeting somehow-
"I took a taxi to be "ON" time "TO" the the meeting"
