True, buses operated on a fixed service route at a set time, its up to the user to meet those conditions, using cars it is just hit and miss so why bother
-
What is being talked about is not intercity travel but travel within a city.

First there was Uber Cab, then Uber private hire, then Uber rideshare, now Uber pool share. Just change the name so the operation appears to fit the law.
Uber's current 2000 drivers car pool in the morning at shared cost recovery rates only, then in the late afternoon. What do the non P endosed drivers do between those times and in the evening? -
And dodgy people within the industry certainly don't help the cause. Hope the full weight of the law falls on that crowd.

Now don't we all get the feeling this bill introduced into Parliament to amend the Transport Act by Bridges is turning out to be a farce.

Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
That is the reason for the facilitator to be licenced and to keep distance run and payments to driver records. There is zero commerical benefit in carpooling unless the record requirements are ignored. We all know Uber likes to ignore regulations, Uber's track record tells it all.

told you something was afoot with Uber and Bridges. Uber has gone into carpooling in NZ. I think this is an attempt to get arounf the licensing laws except of course where its come undone in light of Uber's policy of non compliance to licensing the charge out rate under the new proposed regs can only be 0.72c per km divided by the number of passengers including the driver.
Now who in the hell is going drive there car around just to recover the costs only. -
Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to BenWilson,
I just taken another look at that interveiw and now think that Bridges must be very deluded as he appears to thinks Uber is a car pooling service providing a cost recovery service. He must think that Uber and its drivers work out of the goodness of their hearts not for profit and reward, or maybe its his way of turning a blind eye for his own gain.

Hi Ben, I actually personaly agree with what you are saying and I do accept the general layout of the bill but with what Bridges was saying in The Nation interview I am thinking something else is up between him and Uber.

I have just heard a really strange interview with Simon Bridges on TV this morning, the subject was on Aucklands transport problems. Bridges basicly said the new passenger transport regulations will help Uber acheive there goals in helping to reduce transport problems.
My imediate thought was, is the government going to allow Uber to misclassifly there operation from hire and reward to facilitated shareride on cost recovery only, these are only the two options available in the bill. The introduced bill states the cost recovery km rate is going to be set by the goverment under the act so is this rate going to be inflated or actual rate already set by the IRD at 0.72c per km. Talk about double speak.
