Hi Ben are you starting to figure out uncle Uber
-
Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to Sacha,
If we expands Uber statement, if we made all jobs part time there would be no need for any regulation.
This week I am going to be a part time Doctor therefore I don't need to be certified in that job. LOL -
Hi Ben, I see you are in the news again.

Thats so true, the Ezygo app idea was put in place 18 months ago thinking it would be up and running in 6 weeks. The real upside of this app is the persons behind it did not seek investors/shareholders so therefore the commission can be keep low as possible. That was alway the theory behing the app, look after the drivers working it not shareholders and IT companies, where as Uber and its IT operation its all about Uber taking every thing from the drivers whom actually do the work.

You are dead right Ben, of course the other option is to join an organisation that is 100% compliant. As you aware Ezygo Taxi app is nearly ready and I have been part of the test team and have found minor bit and pieces for improvement. Its looks like its going to be a top app and takes drivers views into consideration. I think your group should be looking at this. Uber will not be here when the new act is ratified, they will not be regulated and thats their downfall.

If anyone needs to check out the main provisions of the Transport Act in regard to the above look at provisions 6.1(4) and 6.1(6) of the Act. For Urban NZ to proceed they will need to be exempted from the Act.

All the information I have points to that one, looks like a knee jerk reaction. I could have it all wrong, I am usually wrong.
If the information I have is right is a bit like jumping out of the pan into the fire. -
A warning bell just went off over one of the listed directors I think I have heard his name before from several Uber drivers, I think he is one of the charactors behind the dodgy PSL scam that some Uber drivers operate under.
If one does the maths and if the currant Uber rates are used and because of the NZ idendity GST becomes part of the package.
$1.35 after GST is deducted becomes $1.18, 12.5% commission with GST added becomes 14.35%, the 5% dodgy PSL fee becomes 5.75% therefore one is no better off than driving for Uber.
If GST is added on top of the $1.35 instead of being inclusive the rate becomes $1.55
Commissions etc attract GST as they are additional services over and above the running rate. -
Just found the NZ idendity of Urban NZ Ltd, it has two directors and because its a NZ Company it has to operated under NZ Laws not Uber Law.
As a tranport operation providing on demand and presumerly a metered service it needs to become an ATO in other words a taxi organisation, it cannot be a private hire or ride share organisation, maybe in 18 months or so it can be when the new Transport Act is passed.
In the mean time only a taxi can do on demand and non agreed fare price services.
Looking forward to the outcome. -
just noticed an article in the Herald on the the previous, but still cannot find any NZ idendity on it,
