A B.C. Supreme Court justice has turned down an attempt by the Vancouver Taxi Association and some of the region's largest cab companies to suspend ride-hailing apps in Metro Vancouver.

lawyers for the taxi group had argued that the economic impact of the decision to allow ride-hailing was not considered by the Passenger Transportation Board, suggesting it didn’t make changes to allow taxis the "level playing field" they'd been lobbying for.

But Madame Justice Veronica Jackson found the taxi group didn't make a good case that they'd been treated unfairly by the PTB and found the board's decision was reasonable and within its purview. "The launch of Uber and Lyft in Vancouver did not arrive unannounced, there's been extensive study and consultation over the past seven years," Jackson said.
