I was going to ask if they only service Rome, but i can see they offer their services throughout Italy through another organisation. This is really nice and i hope to see more examples across Europe. Thanks a lot for sharing this. It would be nice to see people getting a discount for using Bitcoin, given it makes life easier for both parties.
If you read the article you can read it there that the taxi company operates in over 50 cities in whole Italy. Just imagine the impact of bitcoins in Italy. The taxis aside from accepting bitcoins will be one of the best promoters and advertisers of bitcoin in the area. Sooner or later it will not be just Italy that will have cabs accepting bitcoins I am expecting major cities around the globe will follow.
If you read my post you can read that i mentioned after a second read i saw that they offer the services throughout Italy
I dont believe Italy will set the scene for other countries to follow to be honest. I dont believe they have that much of an influence over other nations policies. Nevertheless it is a great idea.
As someone mentioned, i would much prefer if this was implemented within Uber or something, rather than support the already expensive and corrupt taxi companies.
