Nice post notXcited and also by UberRon.

It shows me a little bit of faith that it seems like most Australians, as desperate as we are to keep our head above water, will not sell our souls to drive for Uber.

It still boggles the mind that Uber wants to provide a superior service to the taxi's yet they want to do it at half the cost. The dregs of our society shouldn't be the key core customers - why Uber doesn't charge the same as taxi's and provide a superior service still confuses me.

My experience in Brisbane with the Uber management has been this - these are some very well qualified and educated people, some very impressive resumes amongst them - but OMG are they stupid. Too many that are too young, and have little to no life experience being in charge of a company of this size, and it's not just Australia, it's world wide with Uber - they like the young "disruptive" crowd running their business and they honestly have no idea. They are going to run into trouble here in Australia, because I honestly think Australian's are better educated than a lot of other countries and drivers here simply will not put up with this crap.

100% agree on this.
Being regulated will kill Uber in Australia.

Go and driver for Uberx you say it won't be a problem to anybody will it ? Meanwhile your neighbour who owns a taxi plate has just dropped 400K on its value. Your other neighbour who is a taxi driver is on 50% pay cut a week now because of Uberx !

Meanwhile 20% of all Uber transactions (Australian Money) are flowing overseas to an American Billionaire and staying there.

The passenger market is now flooded ( too many drivers ) meaning there is too little work to go around for everyone.

Do go and have a drive it surely won't be a problem ! ( not ).

Yeh, maybe hurting my greedy neighbour who now will have his hand out for compensation, nobody gave my father compensation when technology killed his first business and for the second time when the great duopoly of Coles and Woolworths decided to open up in his area. So suck it up! I am sick of hearing about the poor old taxi plate owners.
