SHARED TRANSPORTATION / SHUTTLE SERVICE
Multiple hiring is when two or more hirers use the same taxi or commercial passenger vehicle at the same time (in this instance, Great Ocean Walk transport shuttle service). Because the hirers are giving up their exclusive use of the taxi-cab or commercial passenger vehicle, the fare is discounted for each hirer. Regulation requires each hirer to agree to allow the driver to accept other hirings. The hirer has the right to refuse to allow the driver to multiple hire if they would prefer not to share. Multiple hirings must start at the same time and all hirers must be travelling to destinations in the same general direction. The maximum fare that can be charged to each hirer is 75% of the standard authorised fare for the hirer's section of the journey.
Benefits include:
Benefits include:
- Reduced waiting times for customers in peak periods
- More efficient utilisation of available taxis / commercial passenger vehicles
- Every hirer gets a discounted fare - the customer saves money
- The driver earns more for the trip
- For a cleaner, greener environment, share the kilometres
I would like to provide feedback on the service provided to the Victorian Walking Club for our 8 day walk along the Great Ocean Walk. The club and as organiser of the walk would like to thank Ride With Us for the exceptional service provided on our walk. We had specific requirements that other companies could not meet and Ride With Us worked closely with me to meet our specific requirements – the bus was always on time at the points specified and the driver, Callum, was absolutely fantastic. Please pass on this feedback to Callum. I could not praise Ride With Us or the driver more – fabulous customer service. I would recommend the company to anyone!!
