Uber says it expects to bring its ride-hailing service back to Calgary within weeks after city council approved bylaw changes Monday that make the city’s licensing fee structure more favourable for the company.
The changes were approved by an 11-4 vote, with Couns. Ray Jones, Shane Keating, Jim Stevenson and Andre Chabot opposed. A spokesman for Uber said the company was “pleased” by the move, which will allow more flexibility for its drivers.
“As we’ve said, these changes will allow us to offer service to riders and drivers by early December and we’ll be sharing our exact launch date with Calgarians soon,” Jean-Christophe de Le Rue said in an email to CBC News.
