That's why taxi drivers (and minicab drivers) don't like card payments.
And why I do - it's a highly dodgy industry which is receiving some
welcome regulation from a passenger's point of view. I'm more than
happy to pay, by card from my pre-configured account, a fare that has
been determined by a non-tamperable smartphone app - that's how Uber
works. That way, drivers willing to fiddle things gain no advantage.
A program is only non tamperable until someone finds a way to tamper with it.
And of course you have to be happy for a company like Uber to have all your
details. Personally I'd rather not give mine to such a slimey operator.
