MEL taxi scam

[AustraliaPoochie]

The shrewdest, the crookedest, the smartednessest, ...
In the end, tho, even with this voucher system, it ill be the taxi drivers, and their companies who win over all.
Can I add, the "stupidity" of the voucher system, if its so easy for the taxi drivers to bypass those who have paid, and are waiting.
Pointing finger at the Vic gov too.

Has anyone tried to use the pre-paid taxi voucher terminals at MEL as yet? I heard on the radio Friday that someone bought a ticket for a fixed price to his destination. It required pick up from a dedicated location but no taxis stopped for him - all went straight past to the normal rank beyond T1.

I heard the same radio segment. Very interesting

Main point, can I be so bold, is to ask, if a person has bought a voucher, and on that voucher, would have the info on that taxi, and the taxi is seen (ie, the # on it), has been seen to bypass that particular order/orderer, what recompence happens, does another taxi have to come and pick that orderer up, ...?
Or by the mere fact that that taxi has gone past, its seen by the system as job complete, even tho the driver has done a major "scam".
Havent used the voucher system, so not sure of whats printed on the slip/QR code on smartphone.
