Subject:   why only fare increase? let's end this credit card rule!
Name:   Salem
Date Posted:   Oct 5, 08 - 2:10 PM
Message:   we talk about fare increase but not about this unfair stupid credit card ordinance. why we don't understand that credit card is a total rip off for us?

just like we pay high gas price, we are ripped off $ 1,$2, $3, $5 everytime we cash credit cards, that is a loss of our tip money and it's same as saying with the rising cost of living and gas, we are getting no tips. for example, if we accept credit card of $30, we are ripped off $2 of that and the $30 fare becomes only $28. and this is everytime and all the time we accept cards. sometimes the card gets declined at cashier registration even if it went ok on card machine and got approved. that means entire loss of the money. We all lose hundreds of dollars every month with this stupid unfair credit card ordinance. people are using all kinds of bad, stolen cards and taking advantage of us with this card ordinance. people pay by cards today and next day, they call to cancel the charge and thus we lose the entire fare money. I am just as unhappy about this credit card oridance as I am with high gas price and living costs.

cards takes longer the cash and we get tickets also for road blocks or parkings.


so this is a total lose of money for us and we must do everything possible to end this unfair credit card ordinance, be it with thousands of signature or lawsuit in a court.
We do have strong case.
