Apparently Taxis Really DO Accept NOL Cards And Credit Cards Because The RTA Has Released New Stats
While taxis that accept payment via card seemingly are as common as a unicorn – it looks as though they really do exist, and are on the rise.
According to new statistics released by the RTA, the first four months of 2017 have seen 324,255 transactions via EFTPOS and NOL cards in RTA taxis.
This is up from 266,330 transactions for the entirety of 2016.
This could indicate more cars have working machines
The reason behind the increase – the RTA has implemented initiatives to enhance the systems – including providing rewards for drivers with high rates of transactions.

“The objective of honoring these cab drivers is to encourage cabbies to make it easy for taxi riders to pay the applicable fares through credit/NOL cards, and avoid excuses hindering the use of such technology.”
