The Perth founder of a car-pooling app that promises to offer trips for almost a quarter the price of an Uber wants to raise $1.3 million to get the technology off the ground.

Unlike traditional rideshare services ReddyRide drivers are not on the platform for the purpose of an income and don’t have to go out of their way to pick up passengers. Rather, they have the option of collecting people on their usual commute and receive a fraction of the fare to offset the costs of running their vehicle.

Melbourne’s hospitality industry begins its transition from a long slumber to welcoming customers, but strict density limits may delay the opening of some businesses as they adjust to the new rules.

Roughly half of cafes and restaurants on Melbourne’s famous Chapel Street shopping strip will be able to open their doors on Wednesday, as businesses hurriedly rework their premises to allow outdoor dining.

Chrissie Maus, general manager of the Chapel Street Precinct Association, was “extraordinarily relieved and excited” when premier Daniel Andrews announced hospitality could reopen, but said “it’s an absolute pipe dream to think that the majority of our businesses will just be able to transition to outdoor dining”.
