Taxi Driver Online

It’s time to ditch the card and dig out the small change, as Manchester is set to be the first city in Europe to accept cash payment for Uber journeys.

The global firm currently only allows users to register a card for rides through its smartphone app. This is then automatically charged at the end of the journey, meaning travellers who prefer to pay with money often end up taking a classic black cab instead.

The Manchester Evening News reports that now it looks like Uber is aiming to expand its customer base by going retro, and offering cash payments as well.

Good luck to the drivers trying to get [edited by admin] up punters to pay a whopping surged fare in cash.

Exactly.

They will book, they will get into car, no way on earth will they pay the surge price at the end.

Nothing new in this,uber drivers have been taking cash payments since its inception, only uber the company did not know.

That would mean that the drivers were doing work that had not come through UBER.
