I like taxi. I think this is a good idea. I hope in my city also accept bitcoin. because everyday I use taxi.
The idea is good but how to implement, how the taxi driver will take money for gasoline, and in a pocket put a little. You will not break the system in this way, everything will remain in its place.

Same topic, why you can't use search function?
//Topic: I think that paying in bitcoin for TAXI is a waste. Same goes for restaurant and some other amenities. I prefer to hold instead of spending.

Would like to do the same (holding) instead of spending. If at all they want to spend , spend it for some real cause atleast not for taxi I think so
I think Bitcoin for taxis is a great idea. The thing is not that many people are willing to spend their bitcoins right now so it'll be hard to get some. Maybe if they give discounted prices.
Physical money or fiat is much more convenient to use as a form of payment for taxi and other businesses firm as you can just hand the money over and the transaction is finished unlike in bitcoin, you need to wait for confirmations from the bitcoin network in order for the transaction finished or transferred. For now we can't actually used it for our daily lives but in the near future they can implement some upgrades and additional feature in the blockchain.
I agree with you, if we pay taxi with BTC then will undergo some transaction process.
, but if we pay taxi with physical money it will speed up payment, we can give the money directly.
i think for physical cash is also good business transactions but the only thing we can do is to fasting the network of bitcoin to be available at all time to make the online transaction be firm and good confirmatory, because i know that with the network issues in our country will really make it a bit slower and inconvenient for people to go into it.
thank you

Taxi would be accepting small transactions. Bitcoin now is not suitable for small transactions. Fees are much higher than banks fees for this kind of transaction.

Its a nice idea that taxi drivers will accept bitcoin as a payment. For example you are in a hurry and forgot to pay the taxi driver, you can do it later because you can send bitcoin to the taxi driver unless you remember the bitcoin address. Another is fast and easy transaction of money. Its easy and more convenient than paying money.

You won't be happy to pay 2$ fee for 10$ transaction. It will be 20% of fees, higher then credit card fees.
As second option you can purchase a new bitcoin debit card and use that card to pay whatever service you gonna to use like taxi. Also this can be considered as good ICO idea

If bitcoin can use to pay a card on online gaming,gadgets,restaurant etc,why should not use in paying taxi.it is possible why not?we hope someday that bitcoin will be regularized in our country,and all people will become knowledgeable about bitcoin,so that all transaction will become legit and in right process.someday also grab car or uber group can accept bitcoin ,we hope so.
I've used bitcoins to pay in a restaurant, then the price was low and it felt good to use bitcoin as a currency. Cryptocurrency can be an ideal payment for taxi as the user just have to scan a qr code and needn't care about the change. But bitcoins increasing transaction fees may not enable it to be done with bitcoin.
For now it wouldn't be worth your while with the current fee's, Imagine paying 3-4 dollar fee on a 10 dollar cab ride.
Perhaps in the future when bitcoin is more mainstream and widely used, this would be convenient for the bitcoin users especially when they're caught in a situation of having no cash to pay the taxi fare. I remember one time when I rode a taxi, I didn't have enough cash on me to pay the taxi and it was ridiculously high because of the traffic and distance of my destination. I ended up having a debt with the driver because of this. I guess if one could opt to pay with bitcoin, you could avoid a situation like this.
I think it depend on bitcoin is legalized in your country or not. If it's legalized I think every services in your country will accept bitcoin for payment soon . Beside in few countries Uber is accepting bitcoin for payment 
I am ready to pay all services with bitcoins ( or alt coins) but this is too early for my country. I cannot imagine it right now. Here is no any chances to use bitcoin as usually currency and so freely that to pay utilities or taxi. It all depends on country you live and governments official position or on jurisprudence. I am ready to all new things in our life but my society\government and country not are ready ! . Beside in few countries Uber is accepting bitcoin for payment 
I think it depend on the country you're living in cause Bitcoin is not legalized all over the world so in some countries you can't use Bitcoin to pay for anything directly and the only way to use it in these countries is exchange it into cash but in country that Bitcoin is legalized everything is different, you can use Bitcoin direclty to pay for everything like taxi, taxes, bills,.....it's very convinient right ). I'm still waiting to see Bitcoin is legalized all over the world but maybe it's really difficult cause there are some countries banned Bitcoin and if you use Bitcoin in these countries you will have to go to jail for at least 6 months.

Uber just needs to start accepting it as a form of payment.
Unfortunately the Core dev team is opposed to Bitcoin being used as a currency. This is why there is so much drama, and upcoming forks. There is a real mutiny going on right now everywhere with a lot of angry people who wanted Bitcoin to scale years ago.
Hopefully in the end things will work out. Bitcoin (in my opinion) fails to be what it was made for if its not acting as Peer to Peer Cash. Think im wrong? Go read the title of the White Paper.

The less question, should not just taxi. but if it can be bitcoin can be used in everyday terms. must be fun. maybe someday
Yeah. That would be a nice idea. When taxis will only have QR codes, then we will jud scan them to pay.
It's a good idea soon maybe we will give some satoshi for go somewhere 
BTC in the taxis would be wonderful as there might be some hiring locomotion somewhere with problem and a person who is a BTC user could ask for a taxi.
