New service in Hamilton UBER
Some of you may already know but many do not. Uber has finally arrived in our great city. All you need is a smart phone and a credit card
1
Request
Tap each ride option to see wait time, size, and price. Then enter your pickup location and tap request—your driver will arrive in minutes.
2
Ride
Your ride comes to you. You’ll see your driver’s contact information and vehicle details in the app, so you know you’re getting in the right car.
3
Pay and go
Hop out and rate your driver when you reach your destination. We automatically charge the credit card on file, so you never need cash.
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: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
