    Never thought I'd say this but damn, I don't go to UQ or QUT :(

  • cdaddy on 14/06/2014 - 13:46

    I wouldn't exactly request it a few minutes before you want to leave….. Unless you want to be late

    Brisbane is only UberX. Which is illegal. Correct me if I'm wrong but illegal products and services aren't aloud on ozbargain?

    • Applecot on 14/06/2014 - 14:22

      Pretty sure if this service requires payment it contravenes some kind of law. At minimum it opens a huge can of worms when it comes to public liability and liability to the passenger, when there is payment involved.

      • Applecot on 14/06/2014 - 14:39

        What on earth. The URL says they've been approved, everything in the article would suggest they've banned it.

          Yeah, they approved it, then backtracked a few hours later.

      • nephilim on 14/06/2014 - 14:42

        They dont run in Adelaide as its illegal, yet got a email yesterday they are hiring a adelaide community manager and some other positions. Seems like they are launching here anyway.

        At first Newman said he supported it, but after getting advice from people with a brain, it's now banned.

          Political derail, here we come!

          Dunno why this was negged. Everyone has a brain, even CanDo, therefore how can what PT wrote cause offense?

          I take it back. There are at least 2 Ozbargain members who are brainless.

        • zelda707 on 14/06/2014 - 20:55

          He said that Newman doesn't have a brain. I think that's why he got negged

        • gilbarc on 14/06/2014 - 21:02

          I think it's more that he implied that anyone who supports Uber doesn't have a brain.

        • strangeloops66 on 14/06/2014 - 22:03

          You have to have brains to take on the bikies.

        • gilbarc on 14/06/2014 - 22:16

          And see, now we're not even talking about Uber anymore.

          Political derail ahoy!

        • tonester on 15/06/2014 - 02:44

          it's now banned.

  • tohara on 14/06/2014 - 15:23

    good deal but this is useful for anyone who doesn't live in the cbd. It shows that you can't get picked up from Toowong west which is where majority of uq students who would use the service live!

    WHAT DOES A TAXI LICENCE COST?
    Currently standard Taxi Licences are selling at around $510,000.00 plus Stamp Duty (approximately $17,700.00 based on a purchase price of $510,000.00) plus GST if applicable. Some licences have conditions, which may affect the decisions of prospective purchasers. These conditions may be that the vehicle must be owner-operated, or that the vehicle must be wheelchair accessible.

    Each of these restrictions will have an effect on the price. Currently licenses with a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle with no conditions are available for purchase for around $350,000.00 + stamp duty ($10,600.00).
    It is important to note that whilst any restrictions may affect the cost of doing business, the turnover varies little from condition to condition.

    Bugger the safety concerns! If I'd ponied up that sort of cash for a licence, I would not be best pleased to see this kind of service eating into my turnover.
