'A Fair Share of a Fair Fare'
MACQUARIE AIRPORT TAXI TROUBLES CONTINUE
Since the use of Capsicum spray on a taxi driver at the Sydney Airport operations have been on edge.
On Friday afternoon the Airport E-tag control system failed again, this time for a relatively new taxi driver Darren Han. As so often happens. To the huge frustration of all taxi drivers and Wilson staff.
Darren was stopped from picking up a fare after others were allowed through. At least 5 Federal Police and 3 Wilson staff surrounded him. Flustered, Darren under extreme pressure and intimidation may have selected Drive instead of Reverse when told to move his taxi. He was verbally and racially assaulted and punched, he claimed.
The Airport issued him a fine and the Police ordered him to go to Mascot Police Station where he was held for 7 hours and charged with Negligent Driving!
If any of these things happened then the Sydney Airport is out of control! This driver was only helping the Airport by picking up passengers.
The NSW Taxi Drivers Association held high level Airport meetings to prevent future Capsicum situations occurring.
When will sanity return to Sydney Airport?!
