B.C.’s Greens put ride-hailing on legislature agenda with private member’s bill
VICTORIA — The Green party is taking its third run at bringing ride-hailing to British Columbia, tabling a private member’s bill to pave the way for transportation companies like Uber and Lyft.
Green Leader Andrew Weaver said Thursday the governing New Democrats and Opposition Liberals are failing to deliver on campaign promises made during last spring’s election to have ride-hailing in place by the end of the year.
Weaver said there is support for the service and it can work alongside the taxi industry.
He called on the NDP and Liberals to work together with the Greens to implement ride sharing as soon as possible.
