Uber Canada urges Halifax drivers to protest proposed ride-share licensing changes requiring taxi-like training and background checks.
Uber Canada is urging drivers in Halifax to protest proposed licensing changes that would require ride-share drivers to meet the same training and background check standards as taxis and limousines.
The company argues its current system, including background checks and audits, is sufficient and claims the new rules would add $135 in fees and $100 every two years, along with unnecessary red tape.
Uber says the region’s licensing manager already has authority to request compliance documents.
A staff report recommends aligning ride-hailing regulations with taxi standards, citing practices in other Canadian cities, and proposes a semi-regulated pricing model for taxis to improve competition.
The recommendations are set for review by Halifax Regional Council.
Uber Canadá insta a los conductores de Halifax a protestar por los cambios propuestos en las licencias de transporte compartido que requieren capacitación similar a la de los taxis y verificaciones de antecedentes.
