New service in Hamilton UBER

Alan from Saint Andrews

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: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
