I will not use her to pay a taxi because transaction fee is her main problem, I think bitcoin is better suited for exchange or in made as cash and in use for, big enough transaction, I would rather pay taxi using cash like that I used to do it and it gets faster and wastes no time for transactions, because it pays with bitcoin I think it will make it more complicated
I think it would be great if you could pay your Taxi-drive with Bitcoin! U agree with me?

this has been a thing, for quite some time at this point. they used to have lyft, but it kinda of fell by the wayside (Uber is was more ubiquitous in the cities i frequent).
at the very least, you can use a bitcoin/eth denominated debit card. and I wont even address the various services in the US that allow you to buy public transportation credits in select markets.
I like taxi accepted bitcoin, i think this is a good and make me will always pay with bitcoin if I use taxi service. I hope in my city also accept bitcoin, because everyday i use taxi.

I think here in the Philippines we could use our local online wallet to pay for our taxi fare,And also it gives discount for the first use but never really tried it .

Transaction fees would turn off most everyone from using bitcoin as payment for taxi fares. I wouldn’t pay much more than I have to just for the sake of using bitcoin for transactions. These kind of transactions are better off with plain cold cash or just using a debit card with no additional charges. No need to complicate things as simple as this.
That would be a great development of bitcoin and it's simply digital evolution towards public transportation which I think everybody will be able to benefit in the future. This will encourage the participation of bitcoin with whole world's population to recognize digital currency as a new way of spending. It will eliminate the hassle paper money payments like no those charges with small amounts to be given to the customer of the taxi, sometimes it's so hassle seeking physical coin bills in return of the excess money. Hopefully this will this will be open to my country soon and I believed bitcoin currency will surely be rising star of currency in the future of digital money.
Yes I agree. It will be great to pay Bitcoin for taxi. But transaction fees are too high, it won’t make sense paying taxi fare with Bitcoin now.
Mostly people want this it be happened including me. But transaction fee is the biggest problem to be solved. Transaction is due to high use of bitcoin. But in future I think this problem will be solved because there will be much betterments that we will see in bitcoin. And bitcoin with taxi is a good way to be comfortable for both driver and the traveler. In my country taxi system is worse and I think with the passage of time it should become better and bitcoin will be a part of this betterment 
For shorter distance or within the city, I guess Bitcoin will not be optimum for it. We can use some other coin which is having fewer transfer fees and with faster transactions. BTC may be used for long distance traveling or better is for air traveling.
it would be an interesting experience to do so, and considering how Uber is starting to look at bitcoin seriously, Then that might not be as far as others imagine, On the other hand, it's interesting to use bitcoin in anything physical, from Cafe's to ATM's.
I don't think the idea of Bitcoin payments in a Taxi is a very doable option, because:
- most taxis I know doesn't even support Debit/Credit card payments, nor any other form of electronic cash, taxis with card terminal are still sparse
- bitcoin fees are rather high when we compare the a value of BTC and the amount you need to pay as a fee, it's kinda hard to use BTC as an everyday low-cost payment method
- there are not many bitcoin users who would want this option to be introduced - we are still in early adoption phase, we need time
- most taxis I know doesn't even support Debit/Credit card payments, nor any other form of electronic cash, taxis with card terminal are still sparse
- bitcoin fees are rather high when we compare the a value of BTC and the amount you need to pay as a fee, it's kinda hard to use BTC as an everyday low-cost payment method

i dont where you are making your post from but in my state, the taxis run intra cities and just for a few bucks. Paying the transaction fees anytime you pick a taxi in addition to the taxi charges is not ideal in my world.

You can request that to some of the car applications today like Uber, Grab etc.
But for me I have my fiat so why will I used bitcoin for that. Also the fare can be considered as micro transactions since i so maybe in the end you are paying high transaction fees rather than your fare. But still if anyone want to pursue it, taxi drivers can start it by placing some banners around their taxi that they accept bitcoin as payment.
BTC doesn't fit for small payments today
The fees are too high currently and the confirmation can take hours.
Confirmation times isnt a problem regarding on this kind of payment for taxi services since once the funds have been sent it cant be reversed which a driver can really have the assurance that payment would really arrive on their wallet but the hindrance or problem would really be on the fees itself and as being said its high and its not really worth to use bitcoin and i would rather pay up the tradition local fiat payment since i know i can able to save than using bitcoin. The fees are too high currently and the confirmation can take hours.
Its a good idea and I've seen before posted here that there is a taxi that accepts bitcoin. Its good to hear such news day after day there are new update s about the uses of bitcoin. I think we are ready to make bitcoin becomes mainstream.

Yes, I do strongly agree to this it would be much easier to pay taxis via bitcoin it would be fast and it will save the trouble of money changes. Hope it will come soon throughout the world.
Shouldn't be such a hard idea to implement, simply using existing Taxi apps (Lyft, Uber etc) and adding an option to pay with BTC (or with cryptocurrencies in general) - actually, I'd expect this kind of thing to already exist somwhere, seems like a logical idea.
I don't think that bitcoin will be a good idea to be partnered with taxi because not all the people right now are really taking taxi and they just prefer uber or grab and paying those services with bitcoin is not a wise decision because the value of bitcoin is volatile and you might lose the possible profit with those bitcoins that you will pay and it is better for me to just pay services using fiat.
I personally wouldn't use my coins to pay for trifles like that. I can as well use fiat. And it would take quite a while for the transaction to be confirmed anyways
Someday such a concept would be realized because everyone likes something easy and quick payment.
