Just a quick experiment as Uber launches in Victoria, their app showed 4 cars on the road and quoted about $14 for a ride from the @CHEK_News station to the legislature vs ~$11 on the Bluebird Taxi app. For a ride to @Fly_YYJ Uber quoted $51 vs $73 for Bluebird.

Meanwhile, @BCTransit is showing $2.50 to either destination.
