Illegal Ride Sharing (click here)

The Queensland Taxi Industry has been in a battle with the intrusion of an international “ride share” organisation known as Uber. All around the world Uber has been disrupting traditional taxi markets without due recognition of existing legislation or laws of the land that may be in place.
Illegal ride-sharing apps represent a significant threat to on-demand passenger transport in Queensland and KG Taxi Management is committed to ensuring illegal enterprises like Uber are not allowed to continue their operation in Queensland. We are confident that we will see a positive outcome this year. Please be assured there is significant work being done with the Government to assist our Industry.

In the meantime, provide the very best service possible to your passengers by:

• Keeping our cabs clean
• Ensuring our drivers are neatly presented in their Black & White Cabs uniform
• Proceeding promptly and directly to each booking upon acceptance
• Offering all customers a friendly greeting
• Assisting our passengers with their luggage and groceries
• Charging the correct fare
• Thanking our passengers for their custom each time they exit our cabs and promoting our own booking app and phone number at an appropriate time during the journey

In 2014 KG Taxi Management donated two Ford Falcons to charity.

Kids Under Cover (click here to take a look)

Kids Under Cover works to prevent youth homelessness by building homes and providing scholarships and mentors to at risk young people. To assist with the important work that KUC undertakes within the community KG Taxi Management have committed to donate two cars. The first car will be put to the hammer at auction on Monday 18 August 2014.

This is just one example of the significant collaboration that the Queensland Taxi Industry undertakes with all manner of community groups. Sadly, much of this work has occurred unseen over the decades resulting in the industry failing to receive the accolades it so deserves. We are determined to ensure that this legacy is changed and that the Queensland Taxi Industry receives full recognition for all of its hard work and community service.

Over the past five months the Queensland Taxi Industry has been in a battle with the
intrusion of an international “ride share” organisation known as Uber. All around the
world Uber has been disrupting traditional taxi markets without due recognition of
existing legislation or laws of the land that may be in place.
Illegal ride-sharing apps represent a significant threat to on-demand passenger
transport in Queensland and KG Taxi Management is committed to ensuring illegal
enterprises like Uber are not allowed to continue their operation in Queensland.
On behalf of KG Taxi Management I would like to ask for your support with
respect to illegal ride-sharing apps by signing an e-petition against these
enterprises.
The e-petition requests the following:
“Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House that ridesharing apps are
refusing to meet existing Queensland Government regulations and ignoring
Government directions to stop their illegal operations. People that drive for these
rideshare apps do not undergo regular criminal background checks and their private
cars do not meet the safety guidelines of taxis or offer appropriate insurance. This is
putting the safety of Queenslanders at risk and damaging the small businesses
across the State that operate taxi services which meet safety guidelines.”
To show your support for the Queensland Taxi Industry and the tens of thousands of small
businesses that are either directly or indirectly reliant upon it, please sign the e-petition:
http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/work-of-assembly/petitions/e-petition?PetNum=2334
We have a computer set up and ready to use for your convenience.
Thank you
