For those who have been into nyc in the last few months, what's the taxi situation like? Are they more readily available or are ride-shares still dominant?

I'm looking ahead to nycc and saving my legs the post-con agony of walking back to gct

Uber drivers are literal blessings, since in my area, not only have they always been friendly, but the UberX ride option costs under $10 no matter where you want to go. Meanwhile, city taxi drivers want $20 upfront to even take you a literal block away - and that's IF they even show up to pick you up in the first place.

The Newfoundland and Labrador government is planning changes to the Highway Traffic Act, including scrapping test requirements for some drivers, to encourage ride-hailing services like Uber to operate in the province.

At a news conference Monday, Service N.L. Minister Sarah Stoodley said drivers with a Class 5 licence for passenger vehicles or light trucks will no longer need to do a written or road test to get a Class 4 licence, required to drive a taxi or for a ride-hailing service.

"This will help to ease the administrative process for both new taxi and ride-sharing drivers, and speed up the process to recruit and retain and get more drivers on the road," Stoodley said.

Taxi!

“Sometimes others need it more than you!” snapped the heavily-coated, half-drenched, elderly woman as she hurtled into the taxi Noah had stopped.

“But my wife’s in labour,” his voice, calm and cataclysmic, did not penetrate the frosted windows of the accelerating taxi.

Hail buffeted his pajama-clad shoulders. He continued searching for another vehicle.

My graphics arent the best to say the least so when the screen panned left the pure white pixels lining kiryus eyes started trembling and it literally looked like he was tearing up sitting silently and stoically in his car while hes about to start up the waterworks again

For those that aren't in Australia right now, we have the funniest scandal going on.

Firstly let us introduce you to the eye of the storm: Sam Kerr. Sam is a women's soccer player who has in the last year become one of the most famous and beloved athletes in Australia. Captain of the women's national team, Sam became something of a cult figure after the last Women's Soccer World Cup became a complete unpredicted sensation in Australia, with the whole country getting behind the team.

Sam, up until now, has had probably one of the most squeaky clean images in sport. Generally in Australia it is not uncommon for our sports stars to be caught up in scandals involving drugs:

violence:

drinking their own urine:

or if you're cricket legend Shane Warne, probably all three at once.

Contrasting all this, Sam's image as the squeaky clean saviour for sport made it all the more shocking this last week, when it was announced that Kerr was to face trial after having been charged by the UK police of a "racially aggravated offence" involving a taxi driver.

This was shocking news. Nobody knew what to make of it. Sam was a model for young girls everywhere and a national treasure. "This is why we can't have nice things" screamed the nation. It seemed like all hope was lost.

That is, until, yesterday, when the UK police finally revealed the full details of the case, in which Sam Kerr, sporting legend, was arrested for vomiting in a cab, and then telling an intervening police officer that he was a “stupid white bastard”.

Now we probably don't need to point out that in Australia, vomiting in a taxi and then calling a cop a bastard is about as close to a national culture as we have.

You could not have come up with a better headline to make someone a national hero.

Needless to say, Sam in now being hailed down under as the greatest legend that ever lived, and a petition has already been started to have her picture added to the $5 note.

The tide has swung so far that not one, but TWO, state Premiers have spoken out in support of Kerr, and the Prime Minister has even gone on the record describing her as "a delight".

And so ends the racial abuse saga of our greatest sports hero of all time, and the very first reverse milkshake duck to ever exist.

In today’s world, Bike taxis are gaining popularity as a mode of transport due to its ability to navigate in big cities where the parking is limited. They are comparatively affordable and best alternative to traditional taxis and to avoid traffic jams. Even though they are the fastest and best way to reach the destination, with the increase of traffic in urban areas and its ability to navigate through small spaces in traffic, there’s an arising concern of safety of the passengers.

Most reputable bike taxi companies, such as Apni Cabi app represents, follow stringent safety standards and regulations to protect their passengers. These may include:

•        Vehicle Inspections: Bike taxis are regularly maintained to ensure they are in optimum working order.

•        Licensed drivers: Normally, drivers must have licenses and may also undergo background checks that help see their eligibility and credibility.

•        Insurance coverage: Most riders are covered by bike taxi services in the case of an accident. Thus, these riders could claim complete medical expenses, property damage, or other costs stemming from any incident.

b. Protective Gear

Really, safety equipment is required when on the bike taxi. Most probably, the service will provide you with the appropriate protective gear, like helmets, for a safer ride.

c. Safe Riding Practices

c. Obey Traffic Rules

Although you cannot control how the driver will behave, you should ensure your safety by abiding by some simple rules:

• Do not distract yourself with phone talks or earplug concerts.

• Make sure your feet are firmly on the foot-rests, and hold on tight.

• Sit upright; do not lean much to any side.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Ride-hailing and Taxi Market

The global ride-hailing and taxi market size is estimated to reach USD 432.16 billion by 2028 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 11.7% from 2022 to 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth of the ride market is significantly driven by the expansion of the key players in the new geographies and increasing consumer ridership owing to convenience and comfort. Consumers' inclination to avoid the large overhead cost of car ownership and its maintenance, coupled with the increasing traffic congestion and lack of parking spaces fuels the global market growth.

The rural population is noticeably migrating to the urban areas and metro cities for various reasons leading to a dense population. Furthermore, emerging ride-hailing apps and taxi-booking apps are driving the global market, coupled with the increasing internet service penetration and increasing affordability of smartphones.

The COVID-19 outbreak significantly declined global ridership of ride-hailing and taxis due to the lockdown and restrictions imposed by the governments. As a school, colleges, and the majority of the office workers shifted to online mode and work-from-home, consumers stayed home and were reluctant to go out, which affected the ride-hailing and taxi ridership, declining the global market revenue. Also, consumer preference shifted towards private cars and 2-wheeler options, negatively impacting the market growth in the immediate term. However, over the long term, the market is likely to witness steady growth and recover during the forecast period.

In the global market, the ride-hailing segment by type is anticipated to witness robust growth. The segment is projected to register a CAGR of 17% from 2022 to 2028. Expansion of the ride-hailing companies in the Asia Pacific, Central and South America, and Africa, considering the market potential, is likely to drive the ride-hailing segment growth. For instance, Ola Cabs launched in the Australian city, Sunshine Coast in August 2019, and plans further expansion in Australia and New Zealand. Other factors that are rising the popularity of this mode of transport include the digital payment option, comfort, door-to-door service, and the ability to choose driver/rider. Increasing smartphone use and internet penetration also facilitate the growth of the segment.
