I don't understand about the taxi. What do you mean?
Regarding the pubs, I live in Queensland and have never seen a 100% non-smoking pub. They always have a dedicated smoking area.
- imron 10y agoDepending on the age of the child, the child may be required by law to use a child safety seat. Taxis typically don't come with such seats and so they will refuse to carry you.
- angry_octet 10y agoIn most states taxis (but not uber) have an exemption, QLD is just a massive pain in the arse. Logically the market should evolve to allow requesting a car with seats but no.
- taneq 10y agoMaybe they're talking about a child young enough to need a booster seat? They recently raised the age below which children require a booster seat to 7 years.
- contingencies 10y agoThey always have a dedicated smoking area. In my NSW experience, you're not allowed to smoke within X meters of an indoor pub (even outside on the public pavement), and certainly not indoors, which makes it smoke free. That said, they probably have special exceptions to allow aircon for farming sadcases at gambling machines in special rooms.
