I am independent cab. Not an affiction cab. I can't pick up at the airports because, I don't take credit cards in Chicago. Just the affiction cabs have to take credit cards. I talk to shelly and she told that. I know it sucks. I am happy for that.

I own a taxi medallion for checker. My contract is ending on Oct 21. I will go indepented and not deal checker affilion no more. Then, I can't work the airports. I don't care about the airports. City is better for me.

card card ordinance sucks, it's waste of time and money for us.

Do you know your own medallion? If, so? Go Independent and not be affilated with a company. It easy and better then that

I agree the credit card law sucks. That is just dumb rule.

Don, Thought you were excommunicated here? Anyway, most drivers just want a minimum fare required to use a credit card. Perhaps a maximum wouldn't be a bad idea as well. I'd hate to take someone way out of the city only to find I'm burned. If say it was from 20-100 at least I could get cash up front on the really long runs. This would give me a good excuse to send the credit card through before leaving the city as well.

How's this for a lawsuit idea: Lets block the city from using the camera images for anything other than to apprehend an attacker. Anyone that thinks the city won't use the images against us isn't conscious. Civil rights violation?

Anyway, just some ideas from a street wise veteran to a real longtime veteran.

I know. If, I go the city and try to fight this law. I will be broke with an lawery. I know you can't beat the city. Lawerys, Judges, Daley, and his boys in city hall are all crooks. That is why. I sold my medallion last week and found another job working at Walmart in Crestwood Indiana. Now, I am also making living off the interests of 150,000 in my bank account. After, selling my medallion the other day.

How does this Credit Card payment option work ?
From what Iam reading the passenger , when getting dropped off , gives you a receipt with some Credit Card info , the you take the receipt to your companies cashier to get the Money less Fees ??

If the card is declined it is basically just your loss ??

Isn't that credit card fraud ??

Couldn't you call the cashier and give them the information to see if it is accepted before they get out of the cab ??

And if it is declined you keep the passenger locked in the cab until payment is made or police are involved.

That sucks
