In NSW, they de-regulated the taxi industry to legalise Uber, however added a $1 fee for all taxi and Uber trips. This fee goes towards compensating taxi plate owners who will receive $20,000 cash money per plate or a max of $40,000 for multiple owners. Consumers are happy since there are now more options to get home and cabbies are happy since their investment has not been reduced to nothing.
Come on Calgary get with the times!
