> - Most taxi drivers I've met have been incredibly rude and impatient, and then expect a 20% tip. On top of that, I've had a bunch of them lie and say they don't accept credit cards after the trip is complete, even though there is a sign that says they are legally required to. "The machine is broken" isn't a valid excuse. I commented about this to a taxi driver once, and in a moment of surprising candidness, he told me that one reason this happens is because the taxi company he get dispatch from doesn't pay out credit card payments for something like a month and a half (obviously different companies and different cities will be different here), so drivers who are tight at bill time will insist on cash so they can make ends meet. I asked an Uber driver and they said they get paid every 2 weeks or so.
