It’s another bump in the road for city politicians moving to regulate Uber in London. Following a debate that lasted over an hour at City Hall on Tuesday, the Community and Protective Services Committee failed to endorse a revamped taxi by-law that incorporates ride sharing services.
Chief Municipal Law Enforcement Officer Orest Katolyk explained why he felt the city was moving in the right direction with the proposed by-law amendments.
“We looked at a variety of different models across North America and focussed back on what Toronto is doing, what Calgary is doing, and they’re doing pretty well exactly what we’re doing,” said Katolyk. “They’re having a per-ride fee, a brokerage fee that’s reasonable, and a driver fee.”
