Ride sharing not ready for BC roads
VICTORIA — The BC government is moving towards allowing ride sharing services like Uber and Lyft, but will first make sure the taxi industry is ready.
Transportation Minister Claire Trevena says they have hired industry expert Dan Hara to prepare a report for a made-in-BC system.
“We want to introduce a system for passenger directed vehicles that works for everybody. For the hard working men and women in the taxi industry as well as for potential drivers for passenger directed vehicles,” Trevena told a news conference.
Trevena says they expect to have legislative changes by next fall.
