This sounds like defeating the whole reason for Uber for many people. I find service like Uber more appealing for no frustrations dealing with cash payment, and also because of general hostility in taxi industry about dealing with credit card payment. (Latter one, you can pay your taxi fare using credit cards,  but they are often &quot;discouraged&quot; and some driver even shows clear frustration. Apparently this comes from the fact they don&#x27;t get paid for it until the following month for any credit card transactions, according to one of the drivers I&#x27;ve talked.)
