I had just arranged my clammy clothes when the taxi driver said, rather casually in his Berlin slang, that I could not pay by card. In 2015, the local Berlin taxi company issued a solemn vow to accept cards in every taxi. Even the taxi driver with whom I was finally able to travel complained to me about the “compulsory cards,” as he called them. Travel warning to all Berlin tourists or those planning a visit: who travels without cash in Berlin is lost. Cashless money flow or paper-wet bacteria flow?
