Is it better to pay taxis in Canada with cash, or do drivers accept cards or payment apps?

I paid cash once just to get rid of coins lol 😅. But every other time, card was totally fine. Uber and Lyft also work great in big cities if u don’t wanna deal with street taxis.

Better to pay card. I used Apple Pay on my phone few times too. In Vancouver and Quebec City they had the small white POS machines. Worked fine with my Mastercard.

Most drivers I had accepted card, even Amex in some cases. One guy in Montreal said his machine was down and asked for cash tho. So I always kept like 20-40 CAD just in case. 😎

Used cabs in Toronto and Ottawa...all had card machines. I paid with my Visa debit most times, no problem. They even accepted tap. Didn’t use cash once.
