- jjoonathan 3y agoThe electronic payment that was always "broken" unless you were comfortable enough with confrontation to call the taxi driver's bluff?
- JohnFen 3y agoI've never experienced a "broken" machine in a cab.
- jjoonathan 3y agoHow many big city taxis did you ride before 2013 or so? They cleaned up their act once they got competition.
- JohnFen 3y agoQuite a few, actually.
- jjoonathan 3y agoSame. Which area? For me it was Pittsburgh, New York, and Rome. The problem was absolutely endemic in all three, and I saw it pretty regularly at conferences and on vacations, too.
- canjobear 3y agoI encountered "broken" machines all the time before ~2010, probably more often than working machines, in major US cities.
