tips...

Yes. A taxi can be white as well...
Drivers are required to accept all fares.
Taxi drivers can accept tips, but it is not normal practice to in Australia and there is no requirement on the passenger to do so.
For any comments (good or bad) phone the Taxi Customer Feedback Management System on 1800 648 478 or go to the Transport Infoline taxi service feedback.
Usually they come quick, but there are peak hours when you can wait for hours (eg on Friday evening).
