It may only be a matter of months before British Columbians know whether ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft will be allowed in the province. Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Peter Fassbender told host Gloria Macarenko on CBC’s The Early Edition the province’s extensive consultation on ride-sharing shows support for the services.
“Consumers have told us clearly they want more choice, they want more flexibility,” he said. “They feel like at times they are underserved and so we feel like it’s important that we look at what that might mean for them.” Nearly 81 per cent of delegates at this weekend’s B.C. Liberal convention supported the creation of ride-sharing legislation.
