I'm just putting it out there as I don't think there's been much advertising
If you have used taxis and have had experience with them not showing up then Uber is the one for you. I think you will find the rates are much lower than taxis as well
I look forward to maybe meeting you when you call for an Uber driver.
So if your in the St Andrews, Pukete, Te Rapa areas (or any where in Hamilton for that matter as I don't know where I'll be) and you need a ride to work or into town or anywhere else sign up here get.uber.com...
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
