BTC doesn't fit for small payments today
The fees are too high currently and the confirmation can take hours.

Exactly this idea will work if the transaction fees will get lower, I and all other bitcoins users can't afford to pay high transactions fee for small payments like taxi service. May be if the taxi service provider can provide a wayout through which user's fare can be adjust with his/her paid transaction fee or something like that then it is possible.

i also agree with you.but, i think payment by bitcoin in daily usage is high fee and take much time. besides the transfer fee would be increasing with time.so that,the daily transaction is not effective.

It is one of the best ideas and it can be implement if the bitcoin fees are bit low so that everyone will use it for daily transaction and if this thing is introduced for taxi, the drivers will be in the richer side. So transaction fees should be reduced then implement this to all payment system then there will be no need of carrying cash,

It would be nice though but not with the current transaction fee. However, I still see some bitcoin services like this coming up soon. After all, speedy transaction was one of the reasons behind bitcoin innovation.

It still depends on the acceptance of people to bitcoin because we cannot use it if the people are now aware what it is and there is a law in other countries that bitcoin is illegal if you don't follow that law you will go to jail, but i really hope this idea will be use in the future to make our transaction fast and easy.

No doubt it will be the step towards a new future facility, but as you mentioned that the developers must make the transaction easy, comfortable, transparent and secure. So that the payments will be in time and without any obstacles and hurdles.

If there is something difficult in the payments or changing bitcoin in money then may be the acceptance of bitcoin effect and the people may regret bitcoin.

yes for now it may not be able because of too high fee, but he was wondering if that happened would be a good thing, maybe for now only able for a fairly expensive transportation like a private jet or yacht.

actually bitcoin transactions could be fast but it need more fee to make transactions faster. but consequently the fee on once transaction is so high. i agree that it does not fit to pay with bitcoin with this condition.
i hope bitcoin developers can fix this case and make transactions of bitcoin faster and cheaper than nowadays. taxi fare include as small transaction.

I think it would be great if you could pay your Taxi-drive with Bitcoin! U agree with me?

Good also your idea but alanglkah good also can use altcoin like from ethereum also can because there also many users

I hope this will soon be realized in order to be used by bitcoin users
At least there is a platform that will start it

I also like your idea, "but it would be nice" you don’t use google translate and begin to learn english so at least you understand what is written in google translate.

Using bitcoin as a payment in taxi is a nice idea and I think its quite convinient because you can pay peyment easily and instantly. In addition to that, I think some transport vehicle already start to accept bitcoin and I do believe that all transport vehicle will accept bitcoin as a payment of their passenger.

A very smart idea, I also hope to pay but with bitcoin, it sounds very easy and fun
I'm sure many who need bitcoin to pay taxis and other necessities, will definitely have an impact on the rise in bitcoin prices

I drive a taxi in Brooklyn NY and have a sign in the back saying I accept Bitcoin. Well, yesterday finally someone wanted to pay me bitcoins, we agreed on a price of .004 bitcoins but, guess what, it was going to cost him almost $6 in fees to send me $16. We had wallet settings on low fees and fees made doing the transaction unreasonable. He was using Jaxx wallet on Android phone. I was disappointed. This is a bad sign, Bitcoin is broken. He ended up paying me cash

Yes that is all,taxi industry is screaming for way of paymens for his taxi ordering apps,but btc is not best solution.Price has to much more stable also

That is not a new story. There is already a post in this forum pertaining to a taxi company accepting bitcoin as fees for the fare. The poster was named Xester and his post tackles about a big taxi company in Italy and Rome that accepts bitcoin payments. But we have no more updates to that and I guess it is still the only taxi company in the world that accepts bitcoin as a fare. But it would be better if those services will be extended not only in Rome and Italy but rather on other countries as well. If it happens we can expect a huge spike in bitcoins value if it will happen in a mass adoption across the globe.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/70h7q0/taxi_in_rome_accepts_bitcoin/

I was on business trip in Rome a few days ago and I looked for those 3570.it italian white taxis that supposedly accept bitcoin.
I booked a ride and asked the taxi driver about bitcoin while going to my hotel. Do you know what? HE did not know anything about it!
I had to instruct him about what his company is (maybe) doing. At the end of the ride I couldn't pay with btc but I had to pay him with old fashinoed fiat money.

Yes, it would be great not only to pay taxi, it would be great if we could pay everything with bitcoins.
It can be possible only with small fees and if taxi drivers won't force you to wait 1-2-3 confirmations for drive.

BTC is like a bank account I don't think it can be useful in small payment or instant payment like as taxi bills.

And for what is it useful then?

Well that's an interesting idea. Will it also act as a credit card? do you think like that. If so, it is very useful.

In my own opinion, it would be really great if we could use our bitcoin as a payment to take a ride in taxi's because if you dont have enough money in your wallet you could pay the taxi driver using your bitcoin without any problems and i hope in the near not only taxis will accept bitcoin but every stores .

I don't think it will work. You could take an hour long ride in a taxi and the price could fluctuate by $200 or so. Bitcoin is too volatile for small scale payments right now.

PITCH – THE FUTURE OF OPPORTUNITY

I agree that bitcoin is a great conduit for money transfers and payments but right now with fees too high, I think it is not suitable for small payments like taxi fare. If that issue is solved then I'm all for 100% for bitcoin as payment not only in taxi fares but even for general merchandise purchase.
