Adding 21 new taxis to the streets of Fort St. John would address long wait times and customer service issues with current operators, according to officials with a Grande Prairie-based cab company looking to establish itself in the city.
Navi Thundal of Yellow Cabs appeared before council on Monday to share the company’s perspective on why it should be allowed to operate in Fort St. John.
“Fort St. John as a whole was very supportive to our application (to the Passenger Transportation Board),” Thundal told councillors, adding a number of letters of support have been sent to the company outlining concerns with existing taxi services in town.”
