Taxi operators sue Uber, Bolt in dispute over commissions

Digital taxi operators have taken on dominant industry players Uber and Bolt, seeking the revocation of their licences on allegations of charging high commissions.

Through their Ridehail Transport Association, the operators have sued the two leading players — alongside 12 other licensed companies and the National Transport Safety Authority (NTSA) — at the Transport Licensing Appeals Board Tribunal, blaming them for noncompliance with regulations requiring them to charge a maximum of 18 per cent from drivers, with NTSA accused of failing to enforce the law.
