Excerpts from report from consultant to city official, dated August 12
The pilot program to install credit card readers and LCD screens in a small number of city taxis has been a qualified success. Initially, drivers worried about the 3% processing fee per transaction (levied on both fare and tip), while the taxi companies were concerned about the ability of riders to contest charges, as well as possible reliability issues leading to high maintenance costs.
Nevertheless, once the systems were in place, drivers were pleased by the average increase in tips from 10% to 25% (added to the fare), while the potential for additional advertising revenue (via the screens) thrilled the companies.
Since the pilot program paid for installation, it's unclear how taxi companies will react to the $450 installation cost once they must pay it. I would hazard that this cost will pose a significant obstacle to widespread adoption, despite the eventual economic benefits of the readers and screens. It should be noted, though, that none of the pilot participants returned the systems after the program; all signed up for zero-interest plans to pay back the installation cost over 6 months.

For Question 2(c), does the commissioner not explicitly say that he has doubts over the ability of card readers to improve tax reporting of fares? Why is the answer YES? Is there something to be inferred from his next sentence that I've missed?
