My father always complains about the level of inconvenience when he takes taxis. Generally, when he travels, he tends to rent a car, but it's harder in places outside of the EU where he holds his driver's license. So when he comes to the US, taking taxis is a bit of a pain, as he never carries much cash on him.
I was talking to him the other day about how this businessman named Amos Tamam was implementing credit/debit card machines in NYC taxis, and that hopefully that might catch on. It seemed like quite a great grassroots-type idea, so my dad was particularly impressed by what Amos Tamam was doing. It'd be a lot more convenient for people to just use their debit cards in ways that Amos Tamam was implementing, rather than having to find an ATM that doesn't charge you, then running around with cash on you! Maybe that might encourage my dad to visit more often.
