MPTP Fraud

 MPTP Fraud
The Victoria Regulator (CPVV) recognises that there is fraud being committed within the Multi-Purpose Taxi Program (same as TSS in other states) and says that any driver who abuses the system could expect significant consequences.  

Whilst CPV Driver MPTP fraud will apparently be prevented by Uber's software – there is nothing to stop friends and family of the MPTP cardholder (the citizen who qualifies for MPTP 50% subsidised trips) from using the MPTP cardholder's Uber account. And the taxpayers will be paying for this!
So, it has cut out one fraud and allowed another to go out of control.

Tammy O'Connor, CPVV's Director, Legal, Governance and Regulatory Services, said, "No matter what the level of fraud, criminal action may be taken. Drivers could lose their right to work in the CPV industry and may have to live with a criminal record."

We wonder if this also applies to citizens who fraudulently use a family or friend's MPTP card? It definitely should apply – because it's the taxpayers' money funding this program.
