Transport Minister Andrew Constance has reportedly decided NSW drivers for the Uber ride-sharing service should pay a licence fee to legally continue their work.

Under that scenario, existing taxi operators would be compensated for losing control over the industry.

Mr Constance would not confirm reports when contacted by The Border Mail.

"The government has received the report from the Point to Point Taskforce and is considering its recommendations,” a spokesman said.

“It's still too early to preempt the report and our response, which will be released once a position is decided by cabinet."

Albury Taxis refused to comment on the possibility of Uber cars in its patch.

​An Albury taxi driver told The Border Mail he was concerned how Uber would handle the cross-border issues of driving a legal service from NSW into Victoria, where it would be illegal.

The driver said each taxi service worked within a “patch” and respected the restrictions.

“Obviously each taxi service has its rules, we have to abide by them,” he said.

“Maybe in Bendigo and Ballarat, it’s a lot easier to work.”

Uber is not available in the Albury region at present.

“I think it would impact the Albury taxi industry in the same way that it’s impacted the CBDs,” the taxi driver said.

In its submission to the Point to Point Taskforce, NSW Taxi Council said complex cross-border issues could have “potentially negative financial impacts for country taxi operators”.

Dial-a-Driver Albury-Wodonga already provided an alternative of a hired driver to take people home in their own cars after drinking.

The service’s operator Jenny Locke said it was different to taxis and paid insurance to ensure drivers were covered.

“I know there’s talk about Uber coming to the area … I don’t know how they’re going to deal with the cross-border issues.”

Victorian Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allen refused to say if she supported legalising Uber, but would take interest in the NSW decision.

“We appreciate there is a keenness to see a response from government,” she said.

“It is a very complex matter, it differs from state to state because each state has different regulations and different oversight of the taxi industry,” said.
