When I worked in retail, being the manager, I loved card transactions since you don't need to do a (1)"cash count" and (2) if ever you loose you're receipt, you can just write a sorry letter to the bank.

But the owners hated it, turns out the bank will take around 2 weeks to pay for the actual transaction (this was in the late '90s so maybe things have changed)

I remember my last road trip to Malaysia, I needed to fill up gas in Malacca but forgot to activate my credit card for overseas transactions. The gasoline attendant offered that I use his card then I just hand over the cash to him... I don't think I'll ever see our local gas attendants holding credit cards (thanks to our local bank's requirements) So just imagine how difficult it will be for PUV drivers to get one.
not for me, i avoid cash as much as possible

1st its dirty
2nd can be shortchanged
3rd there are fakes
