Melbourne Express: Monday, August 21, 2017
8.14 In Brunswick Road, Brunswick, a car has become stuck in the middle of
the intersection with Sydney Road. It's stuck right at the same spot as a
roadworks crew, meaning no traffic is getting through at all.
This is very novel! Would you like to see it in Melbourne?
Ride-sharing giant Uber is in talks with the NSW government to subsidise
trips for Sydneysiders between their homes and public transport hubs, AAP
report.
The partnership would see government subsidised Uber rides to-and-from train
stations to "fill the gaps" of existing public transport.
An Uber spokesman said the plans for a partnership between the Californian
tech company and the NSW government were "probably the most positive signs
we've seen across Australia".
