Until very recently they tended to do the same thing in Edmonton and Calgary, and they only started uniformly taking debit in the last couple of years at all, so that's definitely not a universally Canadian thing.

You should see their faces when you pay through the app they set up recently. Most of them don't know wtf is going on.

Well, then they can't pull the "credit card machine in the car isn't working, so let me drive you to an ATM so you can take out money to pay me. Sorry that I waited until after driving you to your destination to tell you this, despite the fact that my car advertises credit card payments on the outside. Oops! I also left the meter on while we drove to the ATM! Silly me! You still have to pay me for the extra on the meter, though." (Of course, if you threaten not to pay, the credit card machine magically comes to life.)

I wonder if any drivers will try and claim you haven't paid them when using the app (because witchcraft)

I had one radio into dispatch about it. Fortunately I wasn't in a hurry, so it was mostly amusing.

I miss being able to just jump out of the vehicle in Uber since they pulled out a couple months back. Hopefully they're back soon.
