Uber - Getting Legalised in Aus

[mantra]

I don't think much of Sydney taxi drivers either, but in my area they're white and are born here. $12 for less than a km sounds right - even in a fairly quiet area like mine. I know someone who pays $10 regularly for a 4 block trip, because he's almost crippled and needs the service. Maybe there's an Uber service which might do it cheaper for him, but I doubt it. You have to pay double when you call a cab for a local trip.

I happened on a bit on tele the other day, about traveling across Cuba. Apparently, they have a policy, where there are govt. guys at "hitching stations" where hitchhikers can go, and the guy will flag down any govt. vehicle going by, and they are required to give a lift, if they have a spare seat, and it's on their way.

Aussie is pretending he doesn't own them because he's arguing on the Sunshine Coast Daily against Uber and doesn't want to declare his conflict of interest.

He is a liar.

Ah. Well then, his lying is nothing personal and we shouldn't take it as such. It is simply a character defect he was born with.
