Jacqui Felgate blasts 'frightening and disgusting' situation at Melbourne Airport

And on a more serious note, on top of that at the airport, we have the outrage that was revealed on 3AW Breakfast over the past few weeks and again this morning. So this is female, usually female travellers. They book the Uber using the code that you have to do when you're leaving the airport. And this is what happened to one woman. Take a listen.

I took an UberX from the airport and while I was in the car, gave them the pin as per normal. Then the driver said that the pin was wrong or didn't work and that he offered to just drive me home for the same amount as an Uber. And just in the moment, like we were already on the freeway, I kind of panicked and I agreed. But something didn't seem right. So when we arrived, he tried to overcharge me. But an extra $20, it felt like a scam. I refused to pay it. And I said, look, I was supposed to pay you on the app, on the Uber app. This is not on. We had a bit of an argument and he locked me in the car. He wouldn't let me get out.

That's frightening and disgusting. And that's not the first time that something like this has happened. So there is a problem with Ubers at the airport. And if this has happened to you, 133693. But I'm going to ask Laurie from Melbourne Airport, if you've been caught up in this issue when you're trying to get transport out of the airport, at the bare minimum, it has to be safe. And you can't have women in particular being targeted like this by dodgy Ubers and dodgy taxis. It is quite simply not good enough.
