Posted: May 10, 2023 11:24AMUber's flagship ridesharing service has finally broken into the Victoria market.
The company, which already operates its UberEats service in the Capital Region, has been making a steadfast effort at bringing more of its services to Vancouver Island after launching in the Lower Mainland in 2020. Over the years, several speed bumps delayed the company from expanding to the Island. In December 2021, the Passenger Transportation Board denied an application it had made to operate in Victoria citing concerns about the potential harm it could cause to existing taxi services that were still recovering from the pandemic.The following summer, Uber tried to skirt the ruling by purchasing another ride-sharing company’s license.At the time, Victoria’s former Mayor Lisa Helps welcomed the proposal.
