Ideas for safe personalised Transport.
Apr 15^th, 2017 at 5:25pm

Includes Cabs and 'Uber' I will post a series of what I reckon is necessary, and if anyone disagrees, I hope they post why.

There must be a written agreement between Cab Companies and the 'Ubers' with all the people who drive using their platform. Said agreement to ensure minimum work conditions and standards which also must be part of legislation.

Anyone disagree?

Okay, so there is no objection to Item 1. Here is Item 2.

There must be a minimum standard for security cameras in all vehicles, 'Uber' included. They must be consistent and uniform across all personalised passenger transport providers to enhance both driver and passenger safety and meet Queensland Police requirements.

Any issue with that?

Before it becomes part of legislation, you have to motivate politician to legislate it.

When I have gone through the list of just under 20 items, I'll be referring this Thread to all Qld politicians who seems to have great difficulty in doing the right thing by all Queenslander including many tens of thousands of small business owners and users of personalised transport.

The government is more than happy to let industries develop their own standards. If you got every player in the industry to agree to it, there would be no need to legislate it.

Gee, how quick of you, Effendi.

The point is:

'Uber' will aggressiveness resist these elements being forced upon them, because they will....when you see them all......make their business model even more of a failure than it demonstrably is now, except to the gullible drivers they entrap.

The Taxi Industry is now fully compliant with them all, and has been for years.

When you go for a taxi or limo drivers licence, you have to have a current police check.

You also sign a document stating that if anything changes in what you have stated you will be punished.

What makes you think something written down will make any difference at all?

However I do like the camera suggestion, but it needs to be sealed, untouchable by the driver, backed up to the cloud or another unalterable format, and cannot be turned off while the taxi is occupied.

Oh, and penalties need to be severly increased for sex crimes and attacks.

Great. So you are OK with Items 1 and 2. Item 3 will be up tomorrow.

Commercial grade, tamper proof GPS Units must be fixed to all personalised transport vehicles and be remotely accessable to authorised parties. On my Home computer, I can see where my Cab is at all times, what speed it is doing etc etc. This is a further safety tool for drivers and passengers.
