AFL: Sydney Swans Vs. Western Bulldogs - Moore Park
The Sydney Swans took on Melbourne’s Western Bulldogs on 27 June 2025 at the Moore Park Entertainment Quarter. The Swans suffered a defeat at their home turf, dampening the mood of many supporters.
The Commission’s on-street inspectors were on-site ensuring drivers were accepting hirings, using the fare calculation device, and to move on vehicles that were stopping and plying for hire. The inspectors checked 22 rideshare vehicles and 16 taxis. Overall compliance was excellent, with one Penalty Notice issued.
