Ride Share company UBER has launched a trial service in the A.C.T. catering for young teenage passengers – but a University Professor believes it won’t work out nationally.

UBER launched the service last week to ease the burden on parents who need help in transporting their children to school and other events.

Several safety measures are in place for the under-aged riders.

But Professor Silke Meyer from Griffith University says it may not be enough…

UBER says it’s hopeful of launching the service nationally, later this year.
