It is important for the safety of drivers and their passengers that the NSW Health Order on masks is followed: when providing passenger services all drivers and passenger must be wearing a mask.
Drivers should also ensure they follow appropriate hygiene practices and are strongly encouraged to visit a Vehicle Sanitisation Station. Vehicle Sanitisation Station locations can be found by visiting the dedicated webpage.*
Taxi drivers should ask their passengers to check in via the QR Code in their vehicles.
Taxi drivers are also reminded to utilise dedicated taxi ranks as appropriate whilst hire vehicles (including rideshare) have access to PUDO bays at major events and follow point to point transport law and road closure information.
Point to point transport drivers should not be picking customers up from no stopping areas, and should try to encourage patrons to catch taxis and rideshare away from stadiums and at designated taxi ranks to assist with traffic flow and pedestrian safety.
Police frequently monitor exclusion zones and sanctions may be administered on the spot for failure to comply. Point to Point Transport Commission Authorised Officers may also be present at major events and undertaking vehicle and driver ID inspections.
For the latest traffic updates download the Live Traffic NSW App, visit livetraffic.com or call 132 701.
*Drivers should check the opening times of vehicle sanitisation stations and plan ahead for their own safety, and for the safety of passengers.
