Hi Ben, when the organisation I represent ask the NZTA what are they going to do about the Uber problem the answer was (a) its to expensive for us to enforce the act and (b) the reveiw process will sort it all out. This was after the results of the review was released.
I also have in my procesions several documents from the NZTA refusing exemption from the Act to allow private hire service to do on demand and non preagreed fares.
So who is protecting who when it come to enforcing the Transport Act. -
Ben, webb page is ezygo.co.nz still has corrections to premium and van rates to come
-
this coming Weds is kick off day

here is it, the predicated race to the bottom.
The Ezygo Taxo App is now the Ezygo Ride Share app, Flag fall is $1.25, Km rate is $1.35 and the time factor is 0.30 cents/min. Commission is 7%.
Hell i earn more with my pension and no running costs. LOL -
thats the point Ben even the taxi industry is saying to hell with the airport. I only go out there if (a) a job takes me there, but I don't cant work the airport stand for a return.
(b) if I have a precharter job to pick up.
Cheap cabs has a fixed price of $38.00 to the CBD so the whole idea of working the airport is now a waste of time and resourses.
Will have some update for you on the Ezygo Ride sharing app later today. -
Hi Ben, the airport situation has all been about the airport company itself, up to the last tender round it was the highest bidder got on the airport and most of the bids where around $10,000.00 per year per taxi and a $2.00 barrier fee, thats why the fares where so high to cover those amounts. This tender round the Airport Company told the taxi companies they had to reduce there fares and give more fixed pricing, and the suggestion was made by them if the taxi companies did not comply they would look at Uber, the airport lowered it tender amounts but put up the barrier fees. Now even taxis are having second thoughts over the viabiltiy of working the airport.

Ben you only been at it for a short time, I been trying to organise the taxi industry for years and at the moment we have the perfect oppertunity to do some thing about Uber but even taxi drivers don't care about it anymore they appear to be happy driving under the Uber condtions now as most taxi drivers are there under Uber now. All they can do is to complian to me about Uber but don't actually want to lose the pitance they get from Uber. Its so simple to stuff Uber up but most cannot see the simlicity of stuffing them up. I am so close to saying to hell with the drivers and just look after myself.

Hi Ben, I see you are in the news again, don't you get the feeling you are talking to a brick wall.

Things are certainly changing in the world of paid passenger transport, have not been able to figure out what is actually happening but several things have come to my attention this week. The first is the taxi industry has become very pissed off with the Auckland Airport Company screwing the taxi industry down with higher access fees and forcing the companies to reduce there rates, secondly the Ezygo Taxi app now has a section for the private hire section of the industry, thirdly the Zoomy app is pulling away from the taxi industry and entering the share ride field. Looks like there is going to be so many options as everyone races to the bottom.
