Taxis: Uber or Ola??
Hi Neighbours: I wonder if anyone has had any or broad experience in the use of these 2 taxi companies and how they found them? I was introduced to Uber which I thought was a great service in the speed of arrival (punctuality) and their general manner, but I thought the fare expensive. Today I was introduced to Ola and for the same distance the price difference was phenominal - $5.20 to be exact! The wait time and manner and all things considered being equal: all but price difference and I wonder if anyone may guess why? Given this is a Tuesday night so maybe the demand wasnt high? I ordered the Uber on a Friday. The time was within minutes of being the same and the route the same.
I am interested in hearing your experience. And yes, I have googled them for obvioud differences but they seem to be very contradictory hence real life NZ experience please?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
