Ride-hailing companies will have just five operating areas in B.C., compared to the smaller municipal boundaries in place for taxis.

The B.C. Liberals have come out in support of taxi drivers who want their operating areas to match those that are being put in place for ride-hailing companies such as Uber and Lyft.

Ride-hailing companies can submit applications to the province to operate in B.C. beginning on Sept. 3, and those applications will be forwarded to the board for consideration. “The traditional boundaries that define where taxis can and can’t operate are outdated and don’t represent our modern need for an integrated transportation network for a growing population,” said Johal.
