RUC Hub co-founders Adam Johnston (left) and Briyarne Pascoe have developed a website making it easier for vehicle owners to understand impending changes to road user charges. PHOTO: SUPPLIEDThe co-founders of a Dunedin startup unravelling the confusion of coming road user charges (RUC) for vehicle owners aim to be retailers when it rolls out. Other questions are about where they can buy RUC, if there are online services and who is retailing RUC. "We do intend for this to push into a broader ecosystem and hope to start retailing RUC when the new changes come in." The co-founders have also launched RUC Compare as another website so road users can compare the prices of every RUC provider.
