SPECIAL
SEPTEMBER OFFER
Cash your Live TaxiEpay dockets and
receive 2¢ OFF your auto gas ÿll.
Minimum $20 Spend.
Conditions Apply.
Welcome to the September edition of Live
Wire and it is great to see the warmer weather
returning, the rain staying away and hopefully
people travelling in taxis more and more. In fact I
recently heard that domestic occupancy rates are
improving in hotels around the country and that
has to be a positive thing for all of us.
But that might not be enough…so Live TaxiEpay is
trying to do more! How I hear you ask…
This month there are several great initiatives that
are being tested in 2 different states that add
more value to our customers. In Sydney we have
commenced the next stage of Live Loyalty, our
own in house rewards program. We now have a
great initiative that allows our customers to save
5% off their shopping, fuel, electronic goods and a
wide range of other products. Imagine how much
you spend each year on these items and now you
save 5%! That could be worth over $1,000 per year
and there are no hidden catches.
Then in Melbourne we have helped launch the 3
cents per litre off LPG deal with United Petroleum.
This is a great offer that again is free…no catch…
no fine print…and all you have to do is come to
the West Melbourne office and the team can
provide you with a pre-completed form to sign
and have your card ready for collection within a
few days. Both of these programs are aimed at
delivering more value for doing nothing more than
being a customer of Live TaxiEpay and using your
terminal. These are great initiatives that if you take
full advantage of you really save you thousands of
dollars per year.
Talk to one of our team about these offers and if
you have any other ideas please let us know and
we will try to find a way to bring them to market.
Good luck and happy driving…

Mr Katsiabanis said he would demand the VTD
provide documentation proving the cameras
met the strict criteria required. If not, he planned
to arrange independent tests to confirm if the
cameras were up to the task.
$2800 Camera Fails
Cabbies are demanding answers after the hi-tech
camera in murdered driver Stephen Seymour’s taxi
had to be sent overseas to try to retrieve images of
his killer.
Mr Seymour, 56, was stabbed to death in Mount
Waverley last Wednesday. His cab was found
crashed and burned out 4km away.
Police on Friday said CCTV footage had not
been destroyed, but just 24 hours later were told
the manufacturer was “unable to access the
footage”.
VerifEye Technologies hopes specialists at its
company headquarters in Canada will be able
to extract the images, which would help identify
the passenger thought to be responsible for Mr
Seymour’s death.
It is believed the killer was incinerated after he stole
the taxi and crashed it into a power pole.
Taxi industry heavyweights are demanding to
know why the $2800 camera - compulsory in
Victorian cabs - failed.
At least one taxi operator will call the Victorian Taxi
Directorate today demanding the return of more
than $500,000 spent on security cameras for his
170-strong taxi fleet.
Taxilink director Harry Katsiabanis said the cameras
were supposed to be able withstand everything
from fire to prolonged immersion in salt water.
He said it was outrageous that one of the cameras
had apparently failed when it was needed most.

#2. What are your thoughts on a portable alert on
a lanyard, like those worn by the service station
attendants or the elderly?
Recent attacks have seen our drivers pulled,
dragged or taken from their vehicles and the M13
button is the only place an alert device is fitted, so
once out of the car what help do our drivers have?

“If they are not extracted, then we will want an
investigation to determine why,” he said.
#1. Do you think the M13 button in cabs is a good
option for a distress function in cars?
Details to be advised
The TAC Cup is an under 18’s AFL representative competition held in Victoria. It’s one of the primary sources of recruitment for AFL clubs. The TAC
Cup provides an opportunity for regional players to participate in a high
standard competition without having to relocate too far from home.
Victorian Taxi association spokesman David
Samuel said he hoped the images could still be
saved.
I would like to bring up a couple of points for
discussion:
United Kensington

Week 2: Semi Finals
Date: 14th & 15th September
“I will be asking some serious questions about why
these devices haven’t worked and why we are
putting our drivers at serious risk,” he said.
There were 385 camera downloads involving
offences against drivers in 2011-12, of which just
over half were assault related.

In Memory
Much loved cab driver Stephen Seymour
Age 56
“He was an absolute gentleman. Honest and hard working. He never missed
a shift in 23 years.”
“He was a fanatical Essendon supporter who loved a joke.”
“He was a happy-go-lucky guy, terrific person, we argued about the footy,
all in good jest.”
“He was always joking and laughing. The other drivers all loved him.”

Hello Drivers,
As I’m writing this the sun is out and I’m thinking:
Thank Goodness this depressing cold and wet
weather has passed. You may have seen me at
the airport last month in my rain coat handing over
flyers regarding our “Refer A Friend” promotion. We
could hardly talk properly as you had to quickly run
to your car or close your windows to avoid the rain.
Well…… let me tell you, I suffered a cold and flu for
a week! I’m so glad that we live in WA with great
weather, and it looks like we are going to have
an early Spring. Perfect weather to head out for a
drink or two, watch a movie or enjoy the festivities
around town. This is great news for taxi drivers as
there are plenty of passengers out and about and
it’s business as usual. Time to make money again!
Remember, our “Refer A Friend” promotion will be
on until the end of September.
For example: If you introduce 10 friends you will
make $300 for yourself and each of your friends
will receive $30 each.
Check the details on the flyers I handed out or
page 35, for more information.
Be part of the MoveMe dance festival and spend the evening with some of Australia’s best dance artists at the national
dance industry’s premier award event.

Good Samaritan
Act By Taxi Driver
By Von Grodzinska
During a work week I get lots of calls
and emails in regards to customers
leaving phones, cards, laptops, gloves
and just about anything you can think
of, in a taxi. It all depends on the details the customers give me whether
I can track the item down or not. On
Friday I received an email from a
distressed customer who had left his
bank card in the taxi just after paying.
With the terminal ID I was able to find
the drivers records but alas, I couldn’t
get through on his phone number. I
emailed the driver instead and got the
following response:
“Hi,
I at once called the Westpac number
on the back of the card and cancelled it. The banker who was on the
other end of the line said that she will
call the card owner and then cancel
it. I guessed that this must be their protocol.
The customers are always well protected when using Live. I am proud to be
a good Samaritan member of the Live
family.”

United Petrol
Docket Exchange
Sites
It has been a busy month with the launch of
our two new cashing sites, United Parkwood
and Loganlea. Both sites have become a great
success and the petrol stations are now seeing
more and more drivers coming through the doors.
The feedback we have received from our drivers
about the convenience of the new sites has been
great, and has shown us that this is something that
you wanted!
Airport Link M7
The new airport link M7 is now open and it seems to
be flowing quite well. There is now a toll free period
to allow us all to become familiar with the layout.
Take advantage of:
• A toll free period that gives you time to become
familiar with where the road goes and how to
enter and exit the road
• A low introductory toll so you can understand
how AirportlinkM7 will fit with your travel and
commuting needs
• The opportunity to experience for yourself the
tangible benefits that AirportlinkM7 will give you
such as travel time savings, connectivity and
reliability.

Queensland

• One month toll free for all motorists until 22
August 2012
• PLUS an additional two months’ toll free for all
tolling account holders until 17 October, regardless

months’ toll free driving for tolling account holders.
Please note: there is a requirement that the
account is in credit to qualify for the bonus toll free
period from 23 August through to 17 October 2012,
otherwise the introductory toll pricing will apply
• From the end of the toll free period(s), the
maximum cars will pay to travel the full length of
AirportlinkM7 is $2:50 (or $2:00 for the two shorter

On The Hunt For
The Perfect Father’s
Day Card....
VALUE PIZZA & CAN OF COKE

^*
EACH
PICKUP
What a Card! Father’s Day was near when
I brought my three-year-old son, Tyler, to
the card store. Inside, I showed him the
cards for dads and told him to pick one.
Upon opening it, Dad read this message:
“You’ve been like a father to me.” He
looked at Ryan, puzzled.
“No,” he replied. “I’m looking for one with
money in it.”
“Well, Dad,” Ryan tried to explain, “it was
either that or the card that said, ‘Now that
I’m a father too!’”
TRADITIONAL PIZZA & CAN OF COKE
$10
The Right Choice My 16-year-old brother,
Ryan, was out late with friends one night.
Suddenly he realised it was Father’s
Day and he had neglected to buy a
card for our dad. After much searching,
Ryan located an open store, but was
disappointed to find only two cards left
on a picked-over rack. Selecting one,
he brought it home and, somewhat
sheepishly, presented it to our father.
.00
When I looked back, Tyler was picking up
one card after another, opening them up
and quickly shoving them back into slots,
every which way. “Tyler, what are you
doing?” I asked. “Haven’t you found a
nice card for Daddy yet?”

Welcome to the SA update. Many drivers have
asked about the reports on TV in relation to the Fels
recommendations in Victoria and if they would
have an effect in South Australia.
The taxi industry is regulated by State Governments
and there are significant differences in each State
which generally determines the efficiency in each
State. All other states and territory governments
have become taxi licence holders, with the
exception of Queensland and South Australia, and
lease out licences in competition to the private taxi
plate owners and investors. In fact, in most states
the Governments are the largest owners of taxi
plates. However this has not assisted in keeping
down cost in registration and insurance. Cost of
registration in South Australia has now increased at

$6,400pa,
and now sits at $6,400pa not to mention the
camera cost of $2,850 per car.
On a bright note it was good news to hear that we
were included to use the new bus lanes in Currie
and Grenfell streets in the city. This has provided
quicker and more efficient transport for taxi users
and drivers, not getting tied up in the congestion, it
is possible that this may lead to more bus and taxi
lanes in the future.
Two new managed ranks opened in July. We
now have 6 managed ranks in the city and one
at the ever popular tourist spot at Glenelg. The
ranks have CCTV and there will be additional foot
patrols by transit police assisting customer service.
The King William street rank will have its layoff on
the NAB rank and the customer service officer will
be calling up cars when required. The East terrace,
King William street, North tce, Pultney street and
Morphett street ranks will operate from 11pm. Taxis
picked up more than 258,000 passengers from
these ranks last year which was an increase of 27%
on previous year. Passengers have been pleased
with the security aspect knowing that by waiting in
line in an orderly fashion they will be given the next
available cab.
Live TaxiEpay continues to grow in more ways
than one, our Office Manager Brendan Albury
and his partner produced a baby girl to add to
the Live family, both Brendan and Renae are very
pleased with the outcome after Renee was 10
days overdue. More stress to come in following
years! Sales have also continued to increase and
we expect to be up by at least 25% over last year’s

LED replacement lights are a good idea for your dome light, they produce a
brighter whiter light which also gives a greater spread throughout the dome
lid. Make sure the installation is done by a professional as higher current
requirement of the LED’s can cause issues with your meter. Your taxi surely
won’t be missed when vacant at night.

A. Our terminals connect to the Telstra network, meaning you
can get coverage anywhere a Telstra mobile can. The Telstra
network is twice is large as any other network in the country
and covers 99% of the Australian population. That’s why Live
TaxiEpay chooses Telstra as its network provider.

Driver Fatigue
Awareness Month
www.nolantransport.com.au
www.prostate.org.au
What is fatigue? Fatigue is a general term used to describe the experience of being ‘sleepy’,
‘tired’ or ‘exhausted’. Fatigue is both a physiological and a psychological experience. Driver
fatigue can severely impair judgement.
Causes of Fatigue
Inadequate amount or quality of sleep over an
extended period
How To Prevent Fatigue: For Drivers
In-vehicle fatigue management strategies:
Sustained mental or physical effort
Use air conditioning to increase driver comfort
and reduce the effects of carbon monoxide
Disruption of the normal cycles of daytime
activity and night sleep
Take short breaks
Environmental stresses during sleep (such as light,
heat and noise)
Medication (some medications cause
drowsiness)
Diagnosed or undiagnosed sleep disorders
(sleep apnoea)
Obesity/bad dietary habits
Night work (causes sleep implications as daytime
sleep is less restorative than nocturnal sleep)
Workload and lifestyle choices (illness, childcare,
sport, socialising, studying)
How To Identify Fatigue
Loss of attentiveness
Slower reaction times
Impaired judgement
Feelings of drowsiness or tiredness
Reduced alertness
Repeated yawning
Sore, red and tired eyes
Wandering, disconnected thoughts
Mood swings (feeling irritable and restless)
Daydreaming
Countermeasure fatigue with regular healthy
food and drink. (Avoid excessive consumption of
fatty, high calorie food which can cause
sleepiness)
How To Prevent Fatigue: For Operators
General fatigue management strategies for your
staff:
Control and monitor shifts to minimise taxi driver
fatigue. (Working in excess of 14 hours creates a
significant safety risk)
Reduce or eliminate irregular shift patterns. The
impact of fatigue is greater for employees with
irregular shift patterns
Incorporate short breaks in shifts
Arrange the driver’s roster to maximise the
opportunity to recover from the effects or onset
of fatigue
Encourage health and fitness of drivers
Provide information to promote driver health
Carry plenty of drinking water
Be aware if drivers have a second job
Play the radio
Does the driver’s lifestyle contribute to fatigue
(sporting commitments, student, new parent,
illness)?
Wear sunglasses to minimise glare
General fatigue management strategies:
Stress management (work related and personal)
Ensure adequate sleep (minimum six
consecutive hours in a single 24 hour period,
however the average required on a sustained
basis is about seven to eight hours)
Set up conditions at home so you can get as
much sleep as possible. (Reduce noise, light and
disturbances)
Enlist family support for a peaceful environment
when sleeping (particularly when sleeping in
daylight)
Improve general health and fitness. Exercise.
Avoid being overweight
Have regular health checks. Ensure that you
do not have a sleep disorder or other medical
conditions that could affect your driving ability

Never Yell Taxi Again
By Cadie Thompson
12th August
Hailing a taxi in NYC just got a little bit easier. ailing
a taxi in New York City just got a little bit easier.
A new smartphone application called ZabKab
launched earlier this week that allows users to hail
a yellow taxicab using their smartphone.
ZabKab was developed by Flatiron Apps, a
New York City based company, and while they
launched their app in NYC, the company plans
to roll out the application to other U.S. cities and
international cities, according to their website

application.
ZabKab is free for those trying to find a taxi and
is available on the iPhone, iPad and Android
mobile devices. (A version for the BlackBerry will be
available soon.)
Users tap the ‘hail’ button on the app, which sends
out their location, and then the cabs in the area
will begin to appear on the map in the application
for users to view.
ZabKab users can also opt to include additional
information to send to the cab driver, like how
many people are in their party and if they need a
cab that is wheelchair accessible.

customers.)
Developing an application for NYC yellow taxi
cabs is a little bit tricky because of Taxi & Limousine
Commission regulations (TLC)
The TLC requires Medallion taxi drivers to only pick
up hailing passengers. The drivers cannot be a part
of a dispatch system or pre-arrange taxi services.
So naturally, this presents a little bit of a challenge
when trying to create an app that is supposed to
make it easier to find a cab.
ZabKab, however, does not offer a pre-arranged
service, but rather allows taxis to see where
customers are.
The TLC also prohibits the Medallion taxi drivers
from using a mobile device while they are driving a
passenger, but the new application addresses this
by only allowing the driver to view the app display
when the car is at a standstill. When the cab starts
to move the app display fades away.

Taxi Service For Dogs
Rachel Leigh
11th August
KALAMAZOO, MI (WFLX) - A unique business in
michigan is getting a lot of attention. It’s a taxi
service for dogs.
You may ask why -- but these pet owners say why
not?
The service takes pooches to grooming
appointments, the vet and just about anywhere
else.
The new company came up with the clever
business name “Tail Waggin”.

Toronto Taxi
Industry
Karissa Donkin
13th August
Members of the taxi industry will meet Tuesday
morning at City Hall with police and city officials to
discuss “serial ticketing” of taxi drivers.
The meeting was called after Gail Beck-Souter,
general manager of Beck Taxi, emailed several
city officials and police to ask why some drivers
have been given as many as 10 tickets at a time
for bylaw infractions, which she says creates “bad
relations between cab drivers and Toronto police.”
For example, one Beck Taxi driver received nine

tickets show.
She said the driver had to wait four hours while a
police officer wrote the tickets, missing time from
work.
“No one says that cab drivers should get away
with breaking the law. We’re just looking to
hopefully get a better understanding between the
two groups, between the drivers and police. Some
of these tickets do look a little offside.”
After cab drivers working at the Billy Bishop Toronto
City Airport’s passenger transfer facility were
briefly banned from washrooms last month, some
cabbies who often work there started their own
organization.
Adegibite, the Billy Bishop Toronto Drivers’ Society’s
spokesperson, says serial ticketing is a problem at
the transfer facility because there isn’t enough
space for drivers. It’s one of the group’s main
issues, and he plans to attend Tuesday’s meeting.
Often, Beck-Souter said, drivers will be lined up
to pick up passengers from flights. If there aren’t
enough drivers, more will be called in.
“Then there’s too many and then they get tickets,”
she said, calling it a catch-22 situation.
The Toronto Port Authority is building a corral
specifically for cabbies that may help the
overcrowding.
Licensing and standards officers have laid 293
charges for bylaw infractions by taxi drivers so far
this year. Last year, they laid 519 charges, down
from 1,463 in 2010.
Police were unable to provide the number of

Const. Wendy Drummond said police don’t
intentionally target cabbies when handing out
tickets.
While “there are definitely some people who do
receive multiple tickets for a number of different
infractions,” she suggested situations where drivers
receive 10 tickets at a time are rare and isolated.

Man V’s Money
How to survive (& thrive) in an uncertain economy
Bear Grylls might have taught us on how to survive when we’re stranded in a region far away from
civilisation in the TV series Man vs. Wild but for most of us the real jungle is the tough economic and
market environment in which we make a living. Similar to surviving in the wild, the key to survive in
an uncertain economy is by being resourceful. Speaking from my own experience as a student with
limited budget, the saying “it’s not what you earn that matters but how you spend” speaks the truth.
So here are some practical daily tips to make the best out of your hard-earned dollars.
Don’t buy the hypes:
Always look for bargains:
Herding behaviour is a very common human
psychology. When hottest new item (usually
electronics) is out in the market, there will be
potential buyers lining up to get it on launch day.
Sellers know this all too well and they practice what
is called price-skimming, which means they set the
price high the moment the product is released and
reduce the price overtime. Unless the purchase
relates to life and safety, there is no reason to buy
the hypes. This is also applicable for anything
seasonal; for instance, it’s better to buy winter
clothes during summer when demand is low and
retailers are forced to cut prices to clear their stock
Whenever you need to buy new appliances,
clothes, or anything really... Shop around to find
the best deals! The Internet is an amazing tool for
this exercise and competition has driven retailers
into price warfare, which benefits us as consumers.
For apparels in particular, non-branded items have
at least the same quality as branded items and are
sold at more reasonable prices since most of them
are supplied from the same sources. There are a
lot of hidden bargains at traditional markets (e.g.
Victoria Market) and, unlike shopping in malls, you
actually get to haggle!

Eating out is expensive, way more expensive
than preparing your own meals at home.
Homemade full-sized meals cost as low as $3/
meal while eating out costs at least $7/meal (and
that’s for a fast food). That is a difference of $4/
meal, $12/day, or $84/week, and I am only using
conservative figures for comparison but I am sure
you can imagine how much can be potentially
saved.

Stay healthy and productive:
By not taking care of our health, we are
actually doing a disservice to our personal finance.
If we got sick, we would end up with medical bills
and even if we had access to health benefits,
we would still suffer from loss of productivity and
potential income. And no amount of money can
replace our health. So the best approach is to
minimise the chance of getting sick at the first
place. Eating the right food, doing daily exercise,
and having proper rest cost nothing extra. Even
a daily 15-minute jog around the neighbourhood
make a difference.

Recipes For Busy Taxi Drivers
Live Group Kid's Colouring Page
This healthy lunch recipe clocks in at $3 or less per serving.
Let’s face it: constantly shelling out cash for prepared food you could have made for less money
at home (often healthier too) gets old fast. But a healthy lunch doesn’t have to be expensive.
Save money by making your lunches at home and bringing them with you to work. Plus you’ll have
greater control to create healthy, delicious meals.
