All taxis in San Francisco will accept the card to pay for essential trips, such as trips to grocery stores or to medical appointments. Customers who pay $6 will receive $30 in value on a debit card, and customers who pay $12 will receive $60 in value on a debit card. Cards can be refilled once a month during this temporary program.
