Anchorage Cabs should be allowed charge an additonal fees for credit cards transactions

Alaska Yellow Cab has submitted a proposal to charge customers an additional fare for processing credit cards.  This is not a bad idea.  Most businesses are able to pass this cost to their customers.  Cab companies should also be able to pass this cost to their customers as well.  Anchorage Checker Cab should also be able to add a surcharge for their customers.  Cab companies also should not have to take credit cards for fares under $10 the reason is the cost of processing credit card transactions.  Cab companies should be able to charge a $3 fee maximum for each credit card transaction with tip included over $10 cab fare.  Most customers will pay the extra fee to allow them to use their credit card.  Please allow the cab companies to charge a fee for them using a credit card.  Please tell your assembly you want the cabs to be like other business to charge a surcharge for credit card transactions.
