Someone needs to make a rideshare aggregator app that will compare local taxis, uber and lyft. I haven't used a taxi in maybe 15 years because the last experience I had in one was so bad. So I'm not familiar with how different the pricing is between them.
Two mile ride in Miami and we get to the destination and the guy tells me his card reader doesn't work. Not the first time I've had one pull that scam.
edit: I'm getting some responses that I should've just hopped out. I did. Copy pasting the story I just posted in another comment -

> I had him drop me off at the mall so that I could grab a belt for a wedding that was happening an hour or two later. He told me his reader wasn't working and I didn't have cash. I was literally wearing swimming trunks and looked like I'd just come out of a pool, because I had.
I said sorry mate you need to warn someone when they get in and not after the ride. I hopped out to go in the mall and grab a belt and he followed me screaming at me the entire time. This probably wasn't even a 2 mile ride. Hotel to Miami mall.
For some reason I can't remember the outcome. Maybe I got so sick of him I went to an atm. I hope I didn't. I don't know what other outcome would've happened. This was when I was young and hot headed and absolutely not afraid of this guy screaming at me.
