Thanks for your feedback!
Is there any reason you don't use taxis? Is the language barrier and difficulty communicating with the driver one of the reasons?

It's usually cost. I can understand some Japanese so language isn't a big problem for me. Speaking is more difficult because I have a southern accent (the american equivalent of a Kansai accent) that probably sounds weird to a Japanese person.

Your app is a good idea. A foreigner hailing a taxi late at night has probably been out partying all night and would help make a smoother experience for everyone involved haha.

Thanks for your valuable feedback!
Since prices in the U.S. are generally higher than in Japan, I thought taxis in Japan might seem relatively affordable.
You can take a taxi in Japan starting from about $4.31. The fare then increases based on the distance traveled.
I also wonder if paying with cash makes some travelers nervous because they don't know how much the final fare will be.
That's why I was thinking that if people could pay with USDT, USDC, or JPYC, they might feel more comfortable using taxis without worrying about payment.
