No proper ACT Government control
Simply Un-Australian
In reality the ACT government has determined maximum fares, driver qualifications, caps on ownership, car specifications, and minimum service standards among many, many other factors over the years.
They have been a regulator and participant of this industry and it has clearly been a regulated industry since inception up to the current time. Does this beg the question as to why the dumping of taxi plates is not properly managed, nor the regulation of commercial rideshare such as Uber and the like?
Lack of Equity by ACT Government
Taxi pay rediculous insurance premiums but commercial rideshare does not.. Why?
