just read this http://suicidegirls.com/boards/Lifestyle/31948/page1/#post1837071

and was wondering if this was something they have in your town? i've never seen one but i live in ohio so that's not surprising

so do ya? have you been in a cab that had one even if you were on vacation? i know it's not that terribly important but i was just curious.

there have been credit card zip zaps in cabs forever. however the newfangled fancy machines have been in cabs in NZ for a good long time, like maybe even 10 years? of course NZ has cool things like EFTPOS too, cuz it's a testing ground for rad new technologies.

God, that would have been so handy when I came home from vacation dead broke at 3am. I ended up walking home from the airport.

They take credit cards in cabs here, but I think everything in this city now takes credit/debit cards, I honestly can't remember the last time I actually handled paper money.

unraveled: EFTPOS = electronic funds transfer at point of sale

a lot of new zealanders never carry cash and pay for everything at shops (most of which have eftpos at registers) with their eftpos cards which directly debit their bank account.

yay for nz!

They do here. I've racked up a fair deal on my VISA thanks to them.

i think i'm not getting in any cabs in chicago without asking about payment first. i've never owned a credit or a debit card.

Debit cards are amazing. I rarely handle paper money anymore.

Having the credit card machine in our cab in Chicago totally saved us on New Year's. My roommate and I were babbling away (shocking) and missed our subway stop. We had about a half-hour to get to Navy Pier, so we hailed a cab (an empty cab on New Year's?!?). When I saw the credit card machine, I almost wept with joy. That ride would've taken most, if not all, of our cash.

I know the cabs here do. I think it's become fairly universal. even cabs in Eastern Europe have them nowadays.

I was in Chicago like six years ago and I wished they had these at the time. I had a cab driver walk around the airport with me until we found an ATM.
