The article doesn&#x27;t go into great detail on funding, but it does say &quot;Both taxi and Uber drivers will also have to pay the government a $1 levy per trip for a maximum of five years to fund the compensation package.&quot;.<p>Presumably, the $1 per trip levy is intended to fund the compensation, rather than it coming from general revenue &#x2F; other tax sources. If that&#x27;s the case, I think it&#x27;s great that taxi &#x2F; uber users will be funding this (incorporated into fares by their drivers), since they are the beneficiaries of the increased supply and competition in the market space.
