| The taxi and private hire car app Uber will continue to offer low-cost "ride-sharing" services despite the NSW government saying that ride-sharing apps require licensed vehicles and drivers.
And two more ride-sharing apps are entering the Sydney market: Backseat and RideSurfing. Backseat was due to launch on Friday but its co-founder Alex Ducros said on Thursday afternoon that the launch would be postponed because of the NSW government's latest position on ride-sharing.
"Unfortunately we have taken the decision to postpone the launch of Backseat in Sydney," Mr Ducros said.
