Beware that you may get fined in Melbourne because it is illegal. It's more likely your driver will get fined though.

How do they know who to fine? Aren't all these transactions done purely digitally? You could just be getting into a friend's car, there's always plausible deniability.
People have already been fined in Melbourne.
got a link to articles on it?
wouldnt surprise me. the state and the cab companies here have it locked down so no one can muscle in on their action.
