We have the technology to put in place a pre-pay payment system. Other than restaurant industry, the cab industry is the only transportation service that customer are allowed to pay after service. If you travel by bus, train, or plane, you pay first.
A GPS system can determine what the fare would be by mileage and distance. This would avoid customers who jump in a cab and have no intention on paying, or worst, plan on doing harm to cab drivers.
That guy looks just like my next door neighbor
Report it.
