Vancouver-based company ReRyde has confirmed that Uber purchased its operating licence for its B.C. regions.

Last week, ride-hailing giant Uber announced it was trying to enter the Victoria and Kelowna markets once again.

ReRyde was granted an operating licence for all regions in the province except for the Lower Mainland and Whistler, but had yet to begin operating in Victoria. The process for approving licence transfers is different, however, and the PTB only needs to assess if the purchaser is capable of providing the service, according to Uber.Mohan Kang, president of the B.C. Taxi Association, said the taxi industry was still recovering from the pandemic, and that there wasn't enough business or drivers to go around in the Capital Regional District.
