Pay the cab with your ATM or Debit Card

Well it is my first time to know about this.This is quite awesome and convenient.It is nice to have this especially when you don't have enough cash left but I don hope that it is safe and accurate to avoid any consequences in the end.

Hello Danzylop This would certainly make things easier for those who don't habitually carry cash, or if one is short on cash but not on funds. Peace

I am glad I do not have to worry about taking a taxi. This does sound like a really convenient approach to paying. I am aware that even some phones have card readers now.

That sound like a good addition for travellers who need taxis services from cab company in city, it make their life a bit easier, at least they don't have to worry about there is not enough cold cash in their pocket when stopping a cab in public street or from their call center, safe from the cussing of those cab drivers for lack of cash payment. It works for me since i am that type of person who has so much cash stash inside my bank ATM card and debit card, but like to carry little inside my pocket. I also hope the cab can begin to accpet my personal and company cheque too in the future as payment for my fare after this debit card payment program.

yes, the Mabuhay Black taxi is starting to accept payment through atm or debit card. I've seen them roaming around the streets. I haven't tried this. I will surely try to board on these taxi next time. Are you living in Davao City too?

That's why I love Davao They try new things all the time and of course made sure that it is for the benefit of it's citizens. People my dislike the way they(local government) run the City, but us people of Davao believe in what the Mayor and vice Mayor are doing because, in their long years of service to us, they have always showed that their actions are for the benefit of every Davaowenyo(people of Davao). Happy myLotting

The only time I have use taxis is when i am in Las Vegas for vacations. But using a card sounds a lot easier that dealing with cash. Like in Vegas you never know how much the fare is going to be. If traffic is bad then you pay a higher fare

That's a wonderful invention. The only problem is if the rider do not have ATM or debit card. But I like this because it does not just free us from "keep the change attitude" of taxi drivers but also the taxi drivers are not to worry about holduppers anymore. Nice one. I hope that will be implemented worldwide.

Hello Danzylop, that's good to know that some companies are really going into hitech stuff just to get paid by the customer. unfortunately, hi-tech TAXi's aren't gonna attract that much of a tourist since other countries have the same kind of taxis, but good for them though. i hope all taxi in the Philippines would have something like that in the future.

I dont know my friend I have had alot of problems giving out my card for payment its crazy that that money comes out easy but when a mistake is made it can take weeks to fix, we have to be careful
