    I'm on the 50/50.... There was this 18 Mar: So I'm not sure if the pricing over at Cool Ideas would be the "Old" or "New" price, since that change would also have been 1 May... (I'm on OpenServe, which is probably relevant as well...)

    We tested the new Afrikaans Uber competitor

    It is municipal permits for taxis... (they seem to have taken on Uber, Bolt and InDrive drivers as well) (And having to comply with special rules for at least 3 different metros for services operating across the province seems tedious... The by-law is not on the municipality's list of bylaws...

    We tested the new Afrikaans Uber competitor

    The by-laws are not on the website.... This is what I was sent when asking about it... (You would think that if they want people to comply, they make it easy to find what needs to be complied with...) It also seems a bit hard for the app-based taxis to comply with - e.g. the requirement of a...

    Ah, it might be... My 1985 birth certificate still had the race indicator and I know it was gone by 1994, so not sure when exactly that happened... Seems like it was in 1986/7....
