I am more likely to take cabs now than I was before. With Uber and Lyft I often have almost a 50% over cabs 5 years ago. Additionally, it's a hell of a lot simpler, especially when half the cabs I used to take refused credit cards.
- tedmiston 11y agoI'd agree when I'm in NYC or somewhere cabs are readily available at the curb. But it's a rare occasion that I'd actually call a cab. No CC in 2016 is insanely frustrating. I paid for a ~$10 cab ride once with a $100 bill (the only cash I ever carry) after the driver claimed he couldn't accept a CC. Then he gave me ~$30 in change and semi-apologized with "sorry I don't have any more cash yet tonight". I called bullshit and he managed to find another $10 or so. If I hadn't had quite a few drinks, I would have felt more comfortable calling the cops on him at the time, but really it just takes that happening once for me to refuse cash-only cabs. I really had no idea how to respond especially since he told me that at the end of the ride at my apartment, which isn't near an ATM.
- danieltillett 11y agoThis is where you tear the $100 bill in half and give him one half. Always ask the driver if they can change a $100 before you get in.
