A priori c'est non !! cf la réponse de ce site :

Taxi FaresCabs are cash only and it's a good idea to have small bills because the cabbies can't usually break anything higher than $20
L'information que vous citez
n'est pas à jour.
Depuis 2-3 ans

New York sont équipés pour le payement par carte et ils sont obligés d'accpeter ce mode de payement, quelle que soit la somme.
Extraits du FAQ de la
NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission :

Can I use my credit/debit card for all fares?
Yes, drivers accept credit/debit cards for all fares; there are no minimums or fees to use your credit/debit card.
Is a driver allowed to refuse to let a passenger use his/her credit/debit card?
No. Drivers are required to accept American Express, MasterCard, VISA and Discover (and some will accept the JCB Card) for all fares. The driver must accept credit/debit cards for any fare amount. If a driver claims the credit card system is broken and/or prevents a passenger from using their credit/debit card, please report the medallion number to the TLC by calling 311.
