Glasgow City Council's Licensing and Regulatory Committee is due to look at the results of its public consultation on card payments in taxis at its meeting on 11 November 2026. The consultation ran from 4 February to 1 June 2026 and received 1,666 responses. About 72% came from members of the public and about 15% from taxi drivers. Of those who answered the main question, 83.16% agreed that taxi drivers should have to accept credit and debit cards, and 14.53% disagreed. Worries raised included drivers saying a card machine is broken, lost signal or flat batteries, declined cards and chargebacks, minimum card spends, fewer tips, and fears that the council would favour one card machine supplier. Councillors are being asked whether to add a licence condition requiring taxi drivers to accept card payments, and whether new and renewing drivers should be given time to get ready. Cash would still be accepted. The council says it will not recommend or require any particular supplier, and drivers who do not have a card machine would have to buy one. No decision has been made yet.
