Could Uber rides soon be available in Winnipeg? An MNP review of Winnipeg taxi services released Wednesday concluded that ride-sharing companies should be allowed here.
The call for that addition appears largely based on demand. The report found there’s one taxicab for every 1,252 people in the busy Winnipeg winter season, while other cities average about one for every 860 people. It also noted a survey of about 10,000 Manitobans found “allowing Uber” was riders’ top priority.
The survey found 64% of respondents support bringing Uber to Winnipeg, 24% opposed, and the rest weren’t sure.
