Well, they did not want to accept cards because cards cost them and leave a trail. It was a case of them wanting their cake and eating it too.
Uber and friends effectively forced them (or local authorities) to accept cards.
Where I live the council and taxis have been endlessly moaning about Uber but a couple of years ago they made accepting card payments mandatory for black cabs... Cause and effect.

Black cab drivers are the buggy drivers... moaning about the progress and comfort, while trying to force the government to give them the monopoly on a service.
