Taxi Owners’ Reluctance to Use QR Code for Fare Payments Explained

Officials of Tehran Municipality’s ICT Organization and Shahrpay explain the reasons behind the lack of interest in making or receiving taxi fare payments via QR code

A total of 27,000 taxis in the city of Tehran are equipped with a QR code payment system, but fewer than half of them use this platform to receive their taxi fares.
Tehran Municipality’s ICT Organization believes that expanding the use of this platform requires an increase in public demand and a general appreciation of this system. In other words, the organization’s officials think they should publicize this platform and its benefits, which may increase public demand.
All taxis that pick passengers from taxi stations, or while plying the streets, are connected to the QR code platform to receive the taxi fares. One of the main problems with equipping all roaming taxis is that they drive all over the city, the news portal of Peivast reported.
