1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation down to the jerzy dematter 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: of arms for the pub test, Frantic Sydney starters were 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: being charged hundreds of dollars in fees for short journeys 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: admit chaos on the city's train network in the afternoon. 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 1: The pub test today, Uber search charges do they pass 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: the pub test? Well, defenders of it and say, Uber's 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,240 Speaker 1: got to make a living. This is where they make 8 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: their living. 9 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 2: It's also called price gouging on a day like that, 10 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: so we put it to the pub test. 11 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: What do you think uber search charges? Do they pass 12 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: the pub test? 13 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 3: As a driver, they do past above tests. That's when 14 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 3: we make most of our money. Instead of sitting at 15 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 3: home and doing nothing, We'll get out. 16 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 4: There because you can make that extra a little bit 17 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 4: of money. 18 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 2: No, they don't pass the pub test because I write 19 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 2: on taxis and all that, and I get paf prive 20 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 2: in the texting. 21 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 3: You know, I think they do. Look, at the end 22 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 3: of the day, people are dumb enough to use Uber, 23 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 3: then they're dumb enough to pay the Uber dumb text, 24 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 3: which is the surd coorting. 25 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: I can see why you'd want to motivate people to 26 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: get back on shift but there should be a cap 27 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: at one hundred and fifty percent of normal rates. I reckon. 28 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 3: I actually got a friend of mine who is going 29 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 3: to be charged one hundred and twenty dollars from paramatter 30 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 3: to domestic airport. He called me, he gave me one 31 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 3: hundred and twenty dollars. So Uber missed out there, I 32 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 3: think so. 33 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 4: Yes, I meant either. I feel that if we're going 34 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 4: to get out of the raid and do a service, 35 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 4: I think the search needs apply, but probably not said extent. 36 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 4: They are always at the yesterday. 37 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 3: Yes, I think they do. I just wanted to clear 38 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 3: up the few things. There's no one pushing a button 39 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 3: to actually increase su price or a surge. It's all 40 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 3: done through an algorithm, and Uber computer system looks in 41 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 3: an area and says there's a lot of people wanting 42 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 3: an over, so they put a surge onto attract drivers 43 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: into that area to try and fear the backlog. The 44 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 3: only way they can do that is to offer more money. 45 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: If we see a surge area, we can move into 46 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: that area and try and make the most of getting 47 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 3: an extra fair. The Uber driver does get the extra fair, 48 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 3: whatever the fare is. Uber takes twenty seven and a 49 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: half percent and all the rest of the money goes 50 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 3: to the driver. So yes, I think it does part 51 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 3: the test. 52 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: Why didn't know that, Max Will explained, you know, we 53 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: would start our own little gypsy cab business. Or what 54 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: about on the motorbike. I'm riding along, I see someone 55 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: on the side of the road. I say, you know, 56 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: give me a cart and a beer and I'll get 57 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: your heart. Would you have a disclaimer as to how 58 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: many accidents you'd had? You know, I never have had 59 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: an accident with a pillian passenger. 60 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: So there you go. 61 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: There's not a lot to look forward to.
