G20 – TIPS TO MAXIMISE YOUR $$

1. Communicating with riders:

Riders will be expecting some difficulties with pick-ups / drop-offs during the G20. There is no need to be concerned.

You may need to call / SMS riders for some of the following reasons:

• Arranging an alternate pick up due to road closures
• Advising of a longer ETA
• Communicating changes to a regular route

If in doubt, communicate with the rider so they understand any difficulties.

2. Uber App: The In-app navigation will not consider road closures

3. Road Closures: closures begin from Tuesday 11th & continue until 5am Monday 17th.

1,000s of visitors to Brisbane and the Gold Coast – many come from cities where Uber is HUGE!

They will be ready to ride!

Road Closures: What you need to know

• Tuesday 11th – Thursday 13th 7pm: minor road closures
• Thursday 13th 7pm – Monday 17th 5am: more significant road closures
• Alternate routes will be clearly signed by on-road Council signage to help drivers

Areas to avoid: SOUTH BANK, NORTH QUAY & IVORY STREET TUNNEL AREA.

• Friday 14th – Sunday 16th: additional closures – lasting up to 1 hr – to allow motorcades into the G20 area.
• Go Between Bridge will be TOLL FREE: Friday 14th – Sunday 16th
• Public Transport: services will be reduced significantly – meaning more riders on Uber

Example Trips:

Valley / New Farm to Western Suburbs: We suggest going via Spring Hill rather than travelling through the CBD.

West End to New Farm: Travel via the Story Bridge rather than through the CBD.
