CPVV undertook a Trial of the MPTP Scheme with Uber in geelong

The CPVV undertook a trial of the MPTP scheme with Uber in Geelong from 22 March to 31 May 2020 – at the start of Victoria's COVID-19 lockdown.

The subsequent results of the government orchestrated trial, where they judged Uber's services, are BASED ON 170 TRIPS conducted during this period.

This works out to be a sample size of LESS THAN 0.15% of the average MPTP trips during October and November 2020 - not 5%, not 10%, not 20%, but LESS THAN 0.15%.  How is this data sufficient to make a judgement call?

And if you look at July 2019-June 2020 figures, the CPVV reports that 4.7 MILLION MPTP TRIPS were undertaken in that 12 month period.
​
It is preposterous to even comprehend how the government gained such an allusive understanding of Uber's services when such a small amount of MPTP trips were taken.
​
Minister Ben Carroll, surely the taxi industry deserves better than this!  You have entitled Uber to do MPTP work, forsaking the great work that Victorian taxi drivers currently do – and you have based this new found partnership with Uber on a sample size of less than 0.15%.  Why are you allowing this to happen?
