The Montreal airport has an illegal taxi problem, says its regulatory authority, which is calling for a crackdown.
These drivers tend to target international arrivals, who may be less familiar with the airport and local taxi protocols, she said. The problem persists in part because of the airport authority’s minimal enforcement powers and a discrepancy over which taxis are considered illegal under the new rules, Hamel said.
Controle routier Québec countered this explanation, saying it does not need to see money change hands before it swoops in. In other words, Montrealers authorized as taxi or ride-hailing drivers but without a permit from the airport authority will not be in violation of the rules, in the eyes of the agency — despite the ADM's concerns.
