Four Vancouver taxi companies that were collectively seeking an injunction to prevent car service Uber from starting up operations in the city have dropped their lawsuit.
In a statement Monday, the Vancouver Taxi Association said the lawsuit, which was launched last November, is no longer necessary “as Uber has since stated it is not operating in the city.” The association represents Black Top & Checker Cabs, Yellow Cabs, MacLure’s Cabs and Vancouver Taxi and said if Uber does try to operate in Vancouver it will refile the lawsuit.
“We hope that will not be necessary and that if Uber decides to operate in the city, it will do so in compliance with the legal requirements,” said the association.
