      What? Melbourne Airport making dumb decisions to prioritise profit over passengers!?! Tell me it isn’t so!

      I used Didi when I was there last week. You have to work a bit further to get your ride, but they are also not actively trying to screw you over. It’s werid as it’s often the same drivers anyway, but their system actually works.

      We got an uber from this location but we booked it ourselves (actually the uber kiosk guy did it on our phone to add a discount). It wasn’t as cheap as didi but confusingly didi is a few hundred meters back the way we had come.

      While waiting for our uber we saw an argument between customers and a taxi driver. They were sitting in his car until he told them to leave. Lots of argument betwee the taxi ‘usher’ and the taxi driver.

      Yep its why we use uber (or didi).

      I live in a suburb that is fairly close to the airport, but still like a $50ish fare. Everytime I have gotten in a taxi at the airport recently the driver asks me to lie and say I am going to Airport West or similar so they can queue jump when they return.

      Kinda related story with theme confusion. I recently offered to pick up a mate flying Virgin into T3. So I went to the T3 public pickup. He texted me 1B and my hands free read that out to me. I drove to 1B. He wasn’t no where. A phone call resulted in confusion so a quick selfie and it was clear I was in the sun and he was in the multi story T4. With T3 and T4 having shared security etc he was funnelled to T4 public pickup when following the signs.

      What made it worse is that the signage to drive to T4 public pickup from there wasn’t intuitive. I ended up in the T4 carpark!
