Came here to past just that. Also since the advent of Uber, local taxi services got a fire lit under them, and now many have their own app with up front pricing and route planning.
- nailer 4y agoHere in London (obviously YMMV) black cabs have an app, but they're also still routinely doing things like pretending their card machine isn't working. Not saying that people should user Uber / Lyft etc, just that all private transport is a bit shady.
- ceejayoz 4y ago> pretending their card machine isn't working "Bummer, I don't carry cash" tends to fix this quickly.
- rockinghigh 4y agoNot really. Some drivers will insist on driving you to an ATM.
- ceejayoz 4y agoAt which point you file a complaint with TFL.
- rockinghigh 4y agoI've had that experience of "broken credit card machine" in multiple countries including US, France, and Italy. That's why I use Uber when I can. I don't want to feel kidnapped by a taxi driver who insists in driving to an ATM.
- throw__away7391 4y agoThis happened to me, but the ATM wasn't working. Suddenly their credit card machine started working again.
