I think it is up for them to surely accept bitcoin in every transaction, even if we file a petition that we want them to use bitcoin as a means of payment, I think this is a step forward because in every driver that they hired must accept bitcoin so I think they will surely teach each and everyone of them and it will surely up to each driver if they comply to it, and the knowledge in using bitcoin well I think they might have a problem with that.

Should we start a petition to these people?

Imagine the possibility! I think Lyft will respond faster!

If that will be the case it is extremely beneficial to the commuters who will avail of their services. Aside from efficiency the drivers cannot make ask for extra pay because everything will be recorded in the transaction and the clients can use that as evidence against them. Hope this will be implemented this will be a good start for bitcoin and the transportation groups.

I never encounter any driver that is asking for extra pay. I don't know where you are located but it seems not normal for Uber to ask for it. It's already recorded in their system how much you gonna pay the moment they accept you as passenger.

Going back to the topic. Yes it's gonna be huge for bitcoin market if ever both of them started to accept bitcoin as payment. However, the issue I'm seeing is that those driver should be teach how bitcoin/blockchain technology works. Like teach them how to check the transaction in blockchain to see that the rider or passenger has already payed.

The problem is the processing time for bitcoin is too slow and unreliable, it's not like ordering online where you can wait for the bitcoin transaction to be processed prior to shipping the product.

The speed time is really what's delaying the wide adoption of bitcoin but this would be pretty awesome if lyft/uber did this.

Prepaid! Buy in advance and have prepaid account, then as you use they deduct based on realtime value of the bitcoin.

I think it's very interesting ,,, and certainly will facilitate us when we ride both ,,, which became my question ,, whether it can happen and when it comes into force? I think its a small possibility ,,,
it's okay to plan because it's human task is to plan ...
