Who says that? I have them and wouldn't care. The dogs sit on the floor, not the seats. Plus hair is easier to remove

Apparently those with leather seats feel they're exempt

Load of SHIT!!!

what LevelX said dogs sit on the floor.

I've had dozens of the seeing eye dogs in my car

 

[drivindad]

Evidently you haven't

I have no doubt you've had lots of dogs in your car, even ones that bring along an animal and claim it's a service dog

Sam Taylor says; it's his right to get an Uber - Wrong! It's a privilege to ride in an Uber, if a person is afforded that opportunity, it then becomes their right to bring along a service animal if they are legally entitled to one.

It is your right to take an Uber, but I don't see why it should be a right for your dog to take an Uber. The Uber service is based around private individuals using their own cars to make some money and many are just doing it casually. I have a dog and I love him dearly, but he doesn't go in my car. He goes in our second car because that is suitable. My car however is suitable to carry people and I could use it for Uber if I so desired. It has a leather interior and I would not allow any dog into it.

I have no doubt your dog would be very well behaved. I also have no doubt it would not relieve itself in the car. However, your dog's nails could damage my leather seats and it would leave hair which would mean my wife could never come in the car as she is highly allergic to almost all breeds of dogs.

So whilst I understand your have rights and I do empathise with your situation, you should also understand that the Uber service is not a taxi service per se.

$7000 to drive for uber ? Your dreaming bud, no one will pay this fee, the idea of uber is to offer a better product than a taxi company, why change the surge set up? It's supply and demand, I will not drive if it's going to cost me to more than it already does to drive, and you say 5 year old cut off for cars, I can tell you I drive an 08 outlander that's immaculate and smooth and doesn't rattle as much as the 2011 camerys and corollas that I've had the pleasure of catching.

The idea is to limit casual driver which only cherry pick hours like 8 hours per week sat night only and give opportunity to become full time employment for some drivers with decent pay
also if u want part time then option 3 will be for u 16 hours per week this will reduce number Uber cars and increase earnings for rest
U pay $1644 per year up to u if u dont want to drive all 52 weeks
1. Full 24/7 operating licence Per Year $8092

Taxi licence government lease is $23000 per year
hire car one off fee is $40000
Money collected will go towards compensation Taxi licence holders which some taxi plate owner paid government $120000 and free market people were paying over $500000
This is much better outcome than government to decide to regulate rideshare and num plate becomes one off fee same as hire cars $40000

I would.... But not at the current rates or current commission levels.

I will not drive if it's going to cost me to more than it already does to drive, and you say 5 year old cut off for cars,

All depends on the rates..... If the rates went up by 50% to cover these costs, then sure..... I could think about thees terms.

If the rates stay the same, then no thanks.

This will put rideshare on equal terms with Taxis they will pay higher fee but they have designated taxi area allover city and they pick up pax from the street
Rideshare is no different to hire car VHA plates

 

[LevelX]

This will put rideshare on equal terms with Taxis

But why should it be equal? Different markets....

Rideshare is no different to hire car VHA plates

Its not the same, similar, but not the same.

Ride sharing sits below VHA plates, that sit below taxi plates.

Why? age is a way to ensure its in a RWC.... So doing a yearly RWC you could push the age out to 10 years or more.

To be allowed to stop to drop off and pick up passenger loading zones

technical taxis are not allowed to drop off in loading zones going by vicroads! There are changes coming to correct this.

technical taxis are not allowed to drop off in loading zones going by vicroads!

The vicroads website is out of date, referring to changes coming in 2007-08. The changes have since been made. The current Road Safety Road Rules 2009 are here: http://www.legislation.vic.gov.au/D...AA5A0D62CACA25761E001F5FF1/$FILE/09-094sr.pdf

179 Stopping in a loading zone
(1) A driver must not stop in a loading zone unless the driver is driving-
(a) a bus, or a commercial passenger vehicle licensed under the Transport Act 1983 that is dropping off, or picking up, passengers.

Because even new car driven for 12 hours per day after one year may need new brakes and tyres also to make sure all safety equipment and signal lights are functioning u cant put public safety in hands drivers merit
Current legislation needs update car providing public transport need to have min euro 4 standard 7.5 star greenhouse rating & min 6.5 stars Air pollution rating
Older cars none of them comply with this

Brakes are 100000 kms
Tyres 60000 ish

 

[Bob28]

Brakes are 100000 kms

Not for all cars mate some cars u need pads and disk replacement on 60000
also depends on style of driving and tyre disc and pads quality 50 t0 80000 per set of tyres
working 12 hours per day driver will do 300km per day if he is workaholic 1500 km per week say 46 weeks per year 69000km
Almost time for new set tyres and disc and pads on most of the cars

working 12 hours per day driver will do 300km per day if he is workaholic 1500 km per week say 46 weeks per year 69000km

and still earning peanuts......
