This might sound as bold as declaring oneself both a Catholic and a Protestant in the 1950s, but I’m a taxi person and an Uber person. I toggle between them. That might lower my passenger rating from one star to zero, but I’m anybody’s. I support competition.

Sydney Airport taxi drivers went on strike last week when Ubers were given a nearby pick-up zone at the international terminal. This came as a surprise to me. I’d thought Uber’s pick-up zone was by the baggage carousels, men sidling up with subsonic offers. Drugs? Favourable exchange rates? No, disappointingly, just shady cut-price........
