Cabs should require plastic (debit or credit).

In this day and age, with the interest and criminal fees, charges, fines
on credit cards, everyone is cutting them up and attempting to crawl out
from under thousands of dollars of debit ...

I think that would pretty well limit the number of taxis which could
make a go of it ... in NYC that just might work ... still, I think a big
portion of their business probably comes from people who have lost all
their credit cards ...

I know a lot of credit checks I am running on potential renters/lessees
are coming back showing that trend ...
