Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to BenWilson,
All parts of the act needs to be read to have the overall picture. The proposed chages to the act will take care of the issues mentioned by having only one form of small passenger service. Uber wants all the regulations dropped even though they where the one that asked for these changes in the first place without realising what the changes actually meant. once they realised they backed away from what they had requested. If Uber had fares that made there service profitable to the operators instead of funding drivers out of shareholders money, occassionly charging excessive prices in the form of surge pricing, insurance fraud and avoidance of taxes etc I wonder if the Uber model would have expanded rapidly and been accepted by the public as a cheap option as it has.

Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to BenWilson,
we split hairs over it being a taxi service or a private hire service
This is the reason why your group is not taken seriously, when your members operate outside the act it is spitting hairs but when your parent company operates outside the act they are naughty as. Its a bit like the kettle calling the pot black.
Under the current and only act private hire has to be prebooked and a the fare agreed upon at time of booking and no form of metering can be used, if a meter of any sort is used its a taxi service and the taxi service regulations apply. This is what differates the services, Uber incorrectly went down this path as well as pushing the dodgy PSLs. There is no spitting of hairs within the act. If you want to operate as a taxi there is nothing stopping Uber or its drivers from doing so and as a taxi operation Uber would be welcome as any other ATO. -

All sectors of the passenger transport service are ride share, in other words the passengers share a ride with the driver. Always remember Uber started off as Ubercab, then when told they could not operate as a taxi changed the descripton to private hire service and when questioned on that changed the desscriptopn to rideshare. In NZ Uber is an unlicenced and non approved taxi service. Its the so computor/internet clowns just thinking they because they are mainly only thinking of themselves justiflying there npncompliance to the laws of the country as they fuck up the whole world around them.

Uber already applies pressure to there drivers here who use the use of other taxi type apps which is bit of a cheek as the taxi typeapps are the only fully compliant apps to the current transport act.

Looks like your leader is having some trouble with his bulls**t. -
Yes, even I think the app is good, its application to the industry that is all stuffed up.

bit of a joke this Uberisation of the taxi industry, Uber lowers it prices to below a reasonable profit level to push out the existing taxi industry then the drivers of uber complain about it all, basicly there is so much cake to be shared around, if one overloads the vehicles and reduces prices to gain market share every one in the long run loses out even the passengers. Look at London what a joke.
The real silly thing is my taxi now works the private hire side of the industry and I now have full control over my prices and costs and only work to a forward demand of my services based on my pricing. -
Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to Alfie,
Makes one ponder on it all. Every regulation from transport, taxation, health and safety, imergration, work and income just to name a frew has come under attack from Uber. The future of the welfare and income of the persons involved in passenger transport has taken a 100 year step backwards.
