WOOOOOOH!!!!!!!! Palmerston North taxis can go f themselves! No more $35 trips to go to the airport, which is 10 minutes across town for me.
Great, 7 more places that are about to be overrun with constantly circulating Prius'
Wonder if this is why I constantly get ads for Ola, some other kind of Uber thing.

jonathan18: ... Surely the overheads of expanding a business model such as this aren’t too significant?
Well, there certainly are some.
Also, a local presence to be in contact with the council & get to know their local regulations?

better than paying a huge premium via the old business model
Uber - the cancer of the transport industry.
Their business ethics are disgusting. Sure the taxi industry probably needs a shake up but the way Uber go about entering a market by flouting the law shouldn't have been tolerated.
The way they have structured the Uber Eats business is a good example of why I believe Uber should not be supported. No wonder food outlets are finding ways to avoid Uber's exorbitant charges.
Hopefully they keep pursuing the futile Uber Air Taxi dream. That will cost them millions, probably billions, that will never be recovered and should finish Uber off.
I would rather walk than use Uber.
