London’s cabbies have moved one step closer to accepting credit cards and contactless payments inside their vehicles. It’s about time, right? After launching a consultation earlier this year, Transport for London (TfL) and London’s Mayor Boris Johnson have agreed to move the proposals forward with a planned introduction next autumn. There’s still one roadblock — the TfL Board has to approve the plans in February — but if they’re given the go-ahead, all taxi drivers will be required to accept these payments from October.
