Sounds like they are figuring out ways to make it work and as people realize how important it is they will come around to it, like most things in life.
Got into Fort Lauderdale yesterday, would normally take the bus but it was too late and after the last bus. Had to get a cab, shoved into an old crown vic which for such a big car has no passenger room in the back for a 6'4" guy. He never said a word, I wasn't even sure if the trunk was going to stay closed. Got to my destination, sat in the car waiting for him to run it on the machine, he didn't, had to get out
Me: "Can I use my card?"
Him: "You don't have cash?"
Me:"No"
What Me wanted to say: "That's not what I asked you?, and don't try to that 'it does't work BS'!"
Him: HUGE SIGH
And of course you still have to give them a tip.
BRING BACK UBER!
