Ireland’s transport watchdog, the National Transport Authority (NTA) has received hundreds of complaints in regard to taxis not having a card machine or refusing to accept card payments.
In September 2022, it became mandatory for all taxis to have an in-taxi point-of-sale cashless payment device and for cashless payments to be accepted for taxi journeys when requested by customers.
However, since the new move was enacted the NTA has received well over 200 complaints about taxis that have failed to follow the new rule.
