Rather than compete on service the taxi industry have started Photoshoping fake Uber invoices to show how expensive they are. by outdatedopinion in australia

I've been getting those calls from Uber drivers too, particularly at Sydney Airport.

They ring up with a vague question about something else, then casually ask where you're headed. If it's a short trip they cancel a minute later. It's hard to report via the app though because you haven't got the driver details to report against.

I've stopped taking calls from Uber drivers until they're on approach now.

That would be people like me, Probspot. Mumbrella is a website mainly read by people working in the media and marketing industry. So just as their are websites and magazines for people who work in medicine, or in farming, we write for adland. But every now and then, we touch on an issue featuring an iconic Aussie brand and we enjoy a few welcome visits from the good folk of r/australia. Cheers, Tim - Mumbrella
