Uber and taxi drivers may get more flexible licences in Western Australia

State government proposes changes to licence conditions which would help free up the on-demand transport industry

Taxi and Uber drivers will operate on a level playing field under legislative changes proposed by the West Australian government.
In a green paper released on Monday, the state government said a more flexible licensing environment would free up the on-demand transport industry to innovate and provide new services.
"We're proposing a simplified licensing model with more flexible licence 'types' that focus on safety standards, rather than operating locations or times," the WA transport minister, Dean Nalder, said.
