good idea I also think like that. why not all use bitcoin, but this is more practical and simple very good concept. but in various countries have started doing it as restaurants start receiving bitcoin payouts. I hope all countries can follow.

I think it would be great if you could pay your Taxi-drive with Bitcoin! U agree with me?
Yes your right that it would be great if taxi's would accept bitcoin as payment because if you ran out a cash on your wallet you could only send your bitcoin to the driver without converting it into cash. But it will be much better if not only in taxis we can pay our bitcoin, but in all stores can accept our bitcoins as payment.

It would be great because if you run out of cash and what you only have is your phone.  You can pay the cab with bitcoins.  As for me, I will not use my bitcoin for the ride because I am saving it in much more important thing. 
Yeah like your said, it will good when the price of Bitcoin stable and transaction fees high like now. If you want to purchase taxi, I think you should use FIAT because it faster than Bitcoin about time confirm transaction. Tongue

could pay taxi fees using bitcoin is very cool dude also as users of bitcoin it will be more easier because we just send some satoshi from our wallet (mobile wallet more simple, perhaps) to taxi driver 's address. but in the other hand you are not only pay taxi fare but also bitcoin transactions fee. it will make you spend more little bit. more over the transaction need 3 confirmation to complete the transaction.

I strongly agree with this . As bitcoin will be adaptable in all kinds of ways and will be as fast as lightning in near future. By having a QR reader using bitcoin as payment in taxi would be fast. No problem in a little tip.

This is a great idea, but as many people have noted right now it is impossible because of the high transaction fees/slow transactions. However, I want to propose a solution.

There should be a reputable site, something like taxi-btc.com or whatever, to where people who want to pay Bitcoin for taxi deposit $100 worth of BTC. Then when you pay to a taxi driver you don't pay from your wallet but pay from that site instead, and the site guarantees that the driver will receive the payment sooner or later. Thus the possibility of double spending will be eliminated and you'll be able to pay around $0.30 transaction fee because there will be no need to wait for the first confirmation.

Another option for lowering the transaction fee is combining many payments, which can be done by the site, and then sending it to a taxi company as one payment. But I think the latter can be done only in the far future when millions of people will be paying Bitcoin for taxi.
I don't think it's just high transaction fee or  slow transactions which is the only problem but it's also the price of bitcoin, it being too volatile buyers might suffer a great loss if or when the price of bitcoin drops significantly so I think we still need some other better idea to get rid of such problems.
Yes the high transaction fee and late confirmation are secondary problems. The price is the Bitcoin is the main and primary problem. If the price come down, then it is a big loss for site owners. And if the price is high it is a loss for users. This is also a disadvantage for site owners. How means if the price is high usually people will not use bitcoins to pay, most of the people will use local currency. Like this there are many problems are there first to solve this issue and next, we will think about this payment method.

Forgive me but I think I don't agree with you here. Btc is so precious that I might not want to use as a fare in a taxi ride. Besides, if you'll consider the fee you might be paying twice your original fare because of the fees.

Well if you want to pay more fees than the actual taxi ride, be my guest ! But seriously stop trying to pay for everyday stuff with bitcoin it's such a loss that many before you have made so try not to make the same mistakes again... Google the bitcoin pizza guy and you'll know what i'm talking about.

With what is happening in the blockchain presently, that might seem impossible because transaction time is now becoming very slow and with that nobody would want to drive you and then wait for hours to get his money, also the fees are starting to rise.

I agree. That will prove to be more difficult in reality than in the imagination. It is good if that happens but only if the confirmation time becomes instant and the fee is very low. That is going to happen but not soon enough. I will wait for that time then for the meantime.

Nope, In our country bitcoin is not popular but even if its popular paying bitcoin to your taxi driver is not convenient. We all know that to earn and transfer bitcoin we need internet and not all the country has a free internet. So for me it is still better to pay your taxi driver a real currency.

and do not require confirmation of every transaction because if yes then it will take a long time just to pay a taxi service

I think it is a good idea, if we have a bank or company specializing in taxi payment transaction processing. It's like ATM card when we shop, which company or Bank will pay us when taking taxi media, they need better security if they wish to do business. But that's just one idea for the future .

Advantages and disadvantages will apply to it. First if bitcoin transaction will become smooth and fast then it there is no problem if it will happen and this is the first advantage that we can get.
With regards to disadvantages, bitcoin is not that well known and it will take time for us to let everyone knows about bitcoin. Smiley

One problem could be waiting for the transaction with the taxi to confirm.

It would be great though, but you need to ask yourself if you would be willing to accept bitcoin as a mode of
payment, given the rate at which the price fluctuates these days. Any company planning to accept is ready to bear
unforeseen risks.

It is possible I guess because some stores today accepts bitcoin as a payment for large and low amount of stuffs. And It would be great if bitcoin can  be used to pay taxis. But I guess taxi driver won't allow it as payment. I believe they are sometimes on the urgent need of money and they do not want to lengthen the procedure of making money, and we all know bitcoin fees turns high that might deducted to the profit of a certain driver, so for sure they won't agree on it.
