Ride sharing services banned from Optus Stadium

Saturday, 6 January 2018 09:53

UBER, Shofer and other ride sharing services will be barred from using Optus Stadium's cab rank, according to The West Australian.

A ban will also be enforced along Victoria Park Drive preventing ride sharing operations on event days.

Stadium management is instead encouraging patrons to arrive via public transport with fares included in the price of most event tickets.

Construction of Perth Stadium Station is now complete and ready to take passengers.

While cab ranks are only available to taxis by law, its unclear why other services are being turned away from elsewhere at the facility.

Optus Stadium has been approached from comment.

Have your say on Twitter:

Should @NewPerthStadium allow UBER and other ride sharing services to drop off and pick up passengers from the venue? Stadium Management has told @westaustralian they won't be welcome #perthnews
