Calgary city councillors approved changes to the city's vehicle-for-hire bylaw on Tuesday, aiming to make the sector more competitive.
Uber has filed a complaint with Alberta’s Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner after changes to Calgary’s for-hire bylaw. Skylar Peters reports.Whether you hail a taxi the old-fashioned way or tap your Uber or Lyft app, changes approved at Calgary’s city hall Tuesday will affect that process.
Included in those regulations is the requirement for all complaints to go through the city’s 311 service, and more exact location data, pinpointing your pickup and drop-off location to roughly a metre. The bylaw has been amended several times in the past decade, as ride-sharing companies like Uber and Lyft have been introduced to the city — often with looser regulations than traditional taxi or limousine companies.
