“Lithuanian taxi firm JazzExpress started accepting bitcoin on 20th September this year. Jonas Gilys, development director at the company, said he and his colleagues first heard about bitcoin back in 2009, when they also started mining the cryptocurrency. Cumbria Cabs in England is also now enabling customers to pay in bitcoins, but is yet to receive a fare in BTC. Another English taxi driver – Daniel Hart, who is based in Herefordshire – is not only accepting payment in bitcoin, he’s actively encouraging it by offering a 10% discount to those who pay in the cryptocurrency. Meanwhile Go-Taxi is trying to spread the adoption of bitcoin by taxi drivers across the world.”
