New policies for ride-hailing services in British Columbia will allow companies such as Uber and Lyft to operate a limitless number of vehicles beyond geographical boundaries that are in place for the taxi industry.

Chair Catherine Read of the Passenger Transportation Board said Monday the boundaries where passengers can be picked up must be big enough for the ride-hailing model to be successful in a province that will require drivers to have commercial licences similar to those used by taxi drivers.

“We know from other jurisdictions that it takes years for transportation network services to ramp up,” she said. Peter Lukomskyj, general manger of Lyft in B.C., said the company appreciates the board's decision not to include municipal boundaries and caps on the services. Read said taxis, which often accommodate passengers who use wheelchairs, will remain an important part of the transportation network in B.C., but the industry is dissatisfied that boundaries have not been changed for its drivers, adding that's not possible without data on issues such as traffic flows to adjust historic operating areas.“We know that in Metro Vancouver there are strongly held opposing views as to where the boundaries should be.

The public opinion should be the lead of this story, not what an outdated taxi industry ransoming votes and contributions thinks.
