Comment on Indigenous singer Emma Donovan alleges entire taxi rank refused to serve her at Perth airport

Yeah, nah. I find this incredibly hard to believe. It’s extremely unlikely that even one behaved like that. Australian taxi drivers are immensely racially diverse, as it’s one of the easiest jobs to get when first arriving here, and all would sell their child for a $20 fare. And you’re telling me an entire rank of 20 drivers are somehow all racist toward indigenous Australians, like at levels they’d refuse a job? Yeah, nah.
Something seems off, like it was more her behaviour or condition. Or, ya know, the album she just released…

also, who would get a taxi instead of an uber/etc?

I’d get a taxi if there was surge pricing in effect.

I’d rather pay double than get a taxi in Australia.

I would rather pay more for a taxi over an uber.
Last time I tried to get an uber they put the pickup zone in a bus only interchange, cancelled the ride and charged me an outrageous fee for their fuck up.
