NSW government plan to hit rideshare, taxi customers with new levy

The NSW taxi industry has rejected the state government's "final offer" of a $150,000 payout per car, to compensate for the impact of ride-sharing services.

The government is proposing to charge all rideshare and taxi passengers an extra 20 cents per trip on top of a $1 levy until 2030, to pay for the $260 million cash injection.
