The September 1 deadline for all D.C. taxicabs to have credit card systems installed is rapidly approaching, and it looks like most of them won’t meet it.

The original deadline by which all 7,300 of the District’s taxicabs are required to offer credit card payments is exactly a month away. But many cabs just got a one-month break.

MyTaxi, a company that makes a taxi-hailing smartphone application, has settled its beef with the D.C. Taxicab Commission over the new regulations governing credit card payments.

In this town, there are some things of which you just need visual proof, no matter how many times government agencies say such things are in progress.

The FTC backed many of the concerns over new taxi regulations raised by the combative livery-by-smartphone company.

Uber isn’t the only taxi-dispatching smartphone app that’s worried about D.C.’s new taxi regulations.

The cost of hailing a cab in D.C. is going up by a little bit today, but not for all taxis all at once.

Uber says D.C.’s regulations about credit card payments in taxis will force it to end its taxi-hailing service next week. City officials say that’s bunk.

Just when we thought there was comity in our time, the clash between Uber and the D.C. Taxicab Commission is heating up again.

The D.C. Taxicab Commission says that every last one of the city’s 7,300 cabs will definitely, officially, and totally for real start accepting credit card payments this summer.
