@KenningtonJoel@RebelNewsOnline@SheilaGunnReid Eleven years since Uber started operating in San Francisco. Eight years since Uber launched in Toronto.
More than two years since the @bcndp promised to bring ridesharing services to the province.
Now that ridesharing is allowed in BC, the NDP government is requiring drivers hold a Class 4 license, the same ones ambulance drivers have, excluding thousands of potential drivers from eligibility.
Please watch our interview with @RebelNewsOnline
Ride sharing finally comes to BC, but with stifling regulations — that have a troubling source...

Here's a video of MLA Jas Johal introducing a petition in the Legislative Assembly of B.C. where more than 6,600 residents supported the use of a Class 5 drivers licence for people who want to work for ride-hailing companies.

Hi everybody, please read our article: "Delaying ride-hailing due to beliefs" where we explain why the ride-hailing issue is being led by a misleading minister who has purposely misrepresented statistical data.

There is massive public support for Uber to complement transportation options in Metro Van. Mainstreet found 78% of Surrey residents want ridesharing. Uber + British Columbians are excited for our planned launch this fall, + being able to deliver safe, reliable + affordable rides
Got confirmation today from @Uber and @lyft that, as promised, they filed applications to launch in the Vancouver area on the first day possible (today). @rideKater yet to apply.

"Lack of ridesharing leaves our women at risk of harassment at night. We need simple, efficient ridesharing to fix a broken system and protect British Columbians".
