In the ancient days, sure. But at least in the areas I go to, cabs have been accepting payment by card a long time before Uber came around.

In the ancient days, sure. But at least in the areas I go to, cabs have been accepting payment by card a long time before Uber came around.
Around here (Montreal), cabs were miserable scammers and scumsuckers that would drive you to ATM machines in the middle of the night to coerce you to withdraw cash to pay them.
I'm glad Uber fucked them to shreds. Now, of course, they're all polite and have credit card machines.
I'm glad that worked out for you! But the effects of Uber in places where taxis weren't so corrupt has been really negative.
Where on earth would that have been?
