It baffles me how very little cabs accept credit cards in the city, and even less with an electronic POS. many of them still use paper based forms (if at all) and they'll almost always be rude about it and demand an extra $2-3 on the fare.
Pretty similar to Quebec City. I used to always call and ask for a cab which takes credit card. The vast majority, like 95% of the time, they said the terminal was broken...I was like: "well, it's sad, I don't have cash, can we try?" and it ALWAYS WORKED. This is related though with the crazy fees they need to pay for credit cards, but it's stupid to play the game like that.
I call Taxi Diamond because they're the only ones whose fleet can handle credit cards. When I phone them, they have already previously recorded my number, so a recording just asks me to press "1" to pick me up at my home.
I hate to sound like a paid shill, but I just don't bother flagging cabs anymore. I just call Taxi Diamond.
