    Nice offer.

    If only the Taxi industry did this more often. Used their network of taxis to build a sense of community and partner with commercial locations like Shopping Centres, Councils etc.
    They'd stand a chance.

      There's probably only so many times you can be stabbed, bashed and robbed before you lose your "sense of community".

    Taxi industry needs to introduce a rating system like Uber has so they can weed out the bad drivers and cars then they might start getting some clients back.

      How are six drivers going to manage the load for Australia? Most of the good drivers left already.

    Hey Chadstone, take hint. Bloody stuck for an hour at the round about last year… in the parking lot.

    • scanuck on 23/12/2017 - 22:19

      Wouldn’t a taxi have still been stuck?

      • [Deactivated] on 23/12/2017 - 22:24

        Yeah but I'm assuming he means roll this out at a mass level so that traffic reduces vs the norm

        • plague69 on 27/12/2017 - 14:34

          Yes , that too haha

      • [Deactivated] on 24/12/2017 - 14:25

        I think that the Taxis are getting priority access lanes to Highpoint.

        • serpserpserp on 26/12/2017 - 10:46

          Not in the carparks I park in. Have you ever been to Highpoint?

        • plague69 on 27/12/2017 - 14:35

          You can get out if stuck in traffic in the parking lot. Normally drivers offer to drop off at another entrance away from the main parking area (cinema entrance)

      • plague69 on 27/12/2017 - 14:33

        Drop off is priority just look the bus.

        Of course they do. The parking is free unlike at Southland.

    I'd rather stab myself at home cause at least I'd be home after getting stabbed.

    • gccmelb on 24/12/2017 - 00:23

      Yes thank you uneducated Eastern Suburbanite.

  • Ragnarok1982 on 24/12/2017 - 00:28

    first great idea by the taxis .. kudos to them

  • Dontreadthis on 24/12/2017 - 02:12

    Is "Silver Top Santas" code for "Guys on parole driving a fleet of beaten up Taragos"?

    A lot of unwarranted bashing of Highpoint and Taxi's here. Highpoint is great compared to 20 years ago when it got its bad name, I prefer it over Northland, Doncaster etc. Probably even nicer to shop in during the Christmas crush than Chadstone.

    Also Taxi's are still a great service, the guys drive maxi cabs all day long on Christmas day helping out old and mobility impaired people get around to see their families and friends on xmas day. This isn't a service you can get everywhere at a reasonable price. Uber and the like aren't really equipped for it. Give them a little credit for the work they do, it isn't glamourous.

    • plague69 on 27/12/2017 - 14:38

      With uber-flation, I find myself on a normal cab more often again now. They do good work and are professional most of the time.

      Had an Uber driver say to me once: "why you get in the back seat? This is not a taxi you know?"

      • serpserpserp on 27/12/2017 - 16:34

        Haha, tell the Uber driver that if you wanted to seat in the front seat, you would have asked your mate for a lift!
