Several taxi companies have lost a court bid to run Uber and Lyft off the road in British Columbia.Several Metro Vancouver taxi companies have lost a court bid to quash the approvals of ride-hailing operators Uber and Lyft in British Columbia.

The cab companies argued that the board’s decisions were “patently unreasonable,” because they allowed Uber and Lyft an unlimited fleet size while the number of taxis is capped.The companies, including Yellow Cab and Black Top Cabs, claimed that the board failed to consider whether there was a public need for an unlimited number of ride-hailing cars in the province.

The cab companies said that the board had extensive evidence before it describing the economic harm suffered by taxi operators in other jurisdictions as a result of allowing unlimited ride-hailing. “In each of the decisions, the board devotes numerous paragraphs to discussing whether an indeterminate fleet size will promote sound economic conditions in the passenger transportation industry,” she wrote in the decision dated Jan. 20.

Best thing Uber did was bring to light how corrupt these taxi companies are.

I don't care about the license and all but seriously if you're going to be driving people around please don't carry a piss bottle under your seat like the driver I just got. That thing rolled out onto his floor and everyone could see it let alone smell it. Be decent thx
