HUNTER taxi plate owners are angry at the compensation package unveiled this week by the NSW government, saying it comes nowhere near meeting the losses they've incurred since Uber and the other ride-share firms upended the taxi industry.
The industry body, the NSW Taxi Council, accepted a revamped $760-million offer this week that the government said would "fully deregulate the ('point-to-point' transport) industry and benefit customers in the long term".
