A lot of them are leaving the industry once LEZ kicks in and are simply not giving a fuck.
Bonkers not to accept card in this day and age. All they are doing is chasing business away. Old dinosaurs stuck in days gone by.
Any Hackney that is part of the Glasgow Taxi’s TOA (ones with the yellow stickers/flag) should accept card payment as part of their own policies. If it is one of the TOA cabs you can report them to the association. They have about half of the Glasgow hackneys as part of their fleet.
The other half are indeed small independent businesses and can choose whether they accept card or not.
I think a lot of these jokers will be gone soon. Unfortunately they are damaging the trade for many of the good drivers out there. |
