The NSW government is Uber angry about the advent of ridesharing apps, cracking down on drivers who make use of UberX.
Now there’s a new player in town, vying for your Saturday night drunken-taxi money. Sydney based company RideSurfing, has just launched their own app.
Unlike UberX, RideSurfing drivers are not technically paid. Instead, passengers are encouraged to give ‘donations’. This means RideSurfing drivers are protected from the legal actions that other ride-sharing drivers have been facing.
