.I think this is a great initiative. It is possible to use bitcoin to pay for taxi, helping bitcoin to come closer to real life. Not only have to pay taxis we can also pay for other means like buses. Or truck .. but this should have a quick bitcoin form of payment to meet the requirements of the customer.
It is good if it is.But reduce transaction costs.At present we know coinbase email to email transaction system full free.we can use this and fill taxi fee.So what do you say?
It's good to hear that, but at this moment it is impossible to happen because it probably no one will accept bitcoin as payment. Bitcoin isn't fully established yet in any country even though it is declared legal but for that small amount couldn't be happen. Maybe in 3years onward a big possibilty for 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.
Yes transaction fees is the most common problem in these days and affecting more people who are wanted to send bitcoin in the other wallet. It is not good to use bitcoin as a money to buy products or services that we want in our community. Yes the bitcoin price will rise up because of this demand but it can cause a high transaction fees that we may encounter when these are become officially introduce to all services in our community.

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.
you can pay taxi drives (some!) already in europe!
the company my taxi from at least 1 year accept DIRECTLY bitcoin for a run! I don't know if there are other similar service in other countries, but the company is based in germany and I use it in Italy.
Another way to pay taxi could be a ... credit card loaded with bitcoin.
It's easy to set up and works really fast with good rate and good level of privacy. But is not the best choice, because you are tracked in your expense, and some one could find your principal wallet/other wallets, and see how you spend your money.

I think it would be great if you could pay your Taxi-drive with Bitcoin! U agree with me?
It is possible and also convenient for some bitcoin users who doesn't have cash on there wallet.. And also it sounds really good to hear some suggestions that will promote bitcoin in our daily lives and I think it is good to bitcoin and to its price..

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
If bitcoin worked as bitcoin should work, then it would be possible and great.
Bitcoin could be integrated into Uber or other Taxi apps, just scan the code and you are done, great!
Except that Bitcoin is now pretty much useless as a currency. Like someone mentioned, the fees are far too high. I wouldn't pay a $20 taxi with $26 everytime! The transaction times are less important, as soon as it is broadcast they could accept it as a zero confirmations transaction, but the fees kill Bitcoin as a currency.
Segwit is active now and it has made little difference. IF the block size doubles, that should help in the short term at least. Basically the number of transactions that can be contained in Bitcoin blocks isn't enough to allow for micro transactions to be economically feasible. It's a shame as that was the main hope of Bitcoiners in the past, now it seems to be speculation.

I really agree in your thoughts,that would be a smooth ride for bitcoins users like us and combo with the airlines accepting bitcoins as payment for booking,this will be good for bitcoiner who loves travelling.
This would be a good one if will be happen because bitcoin is so convenience & easy to use this also good to target the people who really love to ride on taxi like me I love to ride on taxi rather than bus, but for now its hard to happen why? because bitcoin is not totally know (accept) or legalize in some countries and the transaction fee is so high if your trip cost to 10$ + 5$( transaction fee) = 15$ its so high.
But I wish its will happen someday in my country.
I think it would be great if you could pay your Taxi-drive with Bitcoin! U agree with me?
Yes! that would be a very good ideal and enticing as well.. why don't we try that for a change. But I think it will be happen in the future.
i agree for you but it is the future, my country it's little know so get into practice but i expect it in future, why not.

it sounds good if you pay taxi as btc only so you can show the transaction.

Totally agree with you, it will makes bitcoins be known by public and bitcoins will be used by public not for taxi bill only more over bitcoins can be used for all of kinds payment method on daily transactions,
If it happen bitcoins will becomes real currency in the world with large of benefits the important benefits of currency in bitcoins
is the values will become more increasing and protect from inflation.
Maybe in the upcoming years the usage of bitcoin for taxi trips will be introduced. Right now bitcoin is gaining more usage as currency than the past days, so soon we can see such services. Now if the taxi driver is aware about bitcoin, the user might get the chance to use bitcoin for trips.
Its good for long trips like paying for a plane ticket, cruise or maybe bus ticket for a very long trip but not on short trips for taxi. Imagine paying twice the amount because of the transaction fees that comes with the payment. Maybe a prepaid card will do that you can load up to pay for cab fare is a good idea. You pay only one when you buy the card and load up, then just swipe or tap when needed.
In my lifetime I have never taken a taxi, I travel using a bus service with cheap rates. Whereas taxis with expensive fare, I have to pay 2 x fold from bus fare. With the innovation of payment using bitcoin I do not agree because it will use a considerable cost with income Bitcoin is smaller.

In my opinion, I don't think its worth spending your hardly earned bitcoin to pay your taxi fare. A lot of individuals earn their bitcoin through social media campaign, signature campaign, mining etc., which requires a lot of hard work and commitment. After all the hard work you still think its worth paying your taxi fare? Why not hodl for the best?
