I refer to ‘the Extraordinary Taxi Ride’ and in particular leg number five being 856km over seven days in which the taxi has to arrive back in Perth from Kalgoorlie, and I ask -
(1) How long will these passengers have to sit in the taxi between stops?
(2) What considerations where taken into account when deciding the length of time spent on each leg of the journey?

Leg number five is from Perth to Monkey Mia, and does not include Kalgoorlie.
(1) During each leg of the journey the taxi will stop frequently to ensure the comfort of the passengers and the driver. It is envisaged that between 1.5 and 2 hours will be the maximum length of time between stops.
(2) Each leg is based around the Extraordinary Experiences available in a particular region and was planned around ensuring sufficient time to take in those Experiences while travelling through the region in a timely, efficient and safe manner.
