Sorry, I'm not sure I get your last point: are you saying the black cab drivers selectively take cash, or don't as a whole? I've never paid for an Uber with cash, so I'm struggling ti understand the argument you're making, because seemingly Uber wouldn't take cash either...

Black cabs almost exclusively take cash, they'll take you to an ATM if you only have card.

That's not true. Around 50% currently take cards. [1] If you get in one that doesn't take cards, don't ask, then they will likely take you to an ATM.

Anyway, by October this year they will all take cards. [1]
