WTF, it says Visa right on your window.
"Sorry, you have to tell me you are paying visa. Do you have cash? I can drive you to a bank machine"
No, I only have Visa.
"Visa machine doesn't work"
etc etc etc
It's ridiculous. Not only do I have to fight for a cab, I have to explicitly tell the driver I am using a visa, like it's some kind of evaluation whether or not I'm allowed into his private clubhouse. All I want is a ride home and someone to take my money. It shouldn't be that hard.

I found the fastest way to fix a “broken” card machine in a cab is to offer to call the office and have them process the payment. Even with no outside manipulation, the reader works right away.
Then you call dispatch and tip them off since they probably don't get their cut when the driver pockets the cash.
