Not really. Not all taxis take credit card is correct. Some of the black taxis with yellow top dont. Some taxi drivers from other companies will tell you their system doesnt work. Dont depend on it.
Reasons behind this: Cash is king. Even more so for some taxi drivers. If you pay by cc they dont get the money straight away.
Some taxi drivers (especially the evening relief drivers) dont know how to operate the system.
CityCab/Comfort (blue or the yellow taxis) all dont accept VISA. Some of the drivers here too will tell you their cc system doesnt work.
