What I would have preferred is that Canada removing the burden off the taxi companies and let them give competition to Uber in innovation space instead of trying to bribe politicians to act as gatekeepers.
- ghostly_s 9y agoWould you like to point to any precedents for 'unburdened' cab markets which have resulted in better service?
- aianus 9y agoHave you ever been to Bangkok? I can just pay $1, hop on the back of a moto idling outside the skytrain station, and off we go lanesplitting through traffic straight to my office 2km away. It's amazing and would be so illegal on so many levels in Canada (where I spend $1000/mo on transportation).
- geoka9 9y agoWhy not get a moto then which would pay for itself within a month or two?
- aianus 9y agoI don't follow. It only cost $2 a day to take the moto taxi between the office and the Skytrain. What kind of moto can you buy for $60-$120? And that's not taking into consideration parking requirements and the extra time it takes to drive all the way from home instead of doing most of the distance on the Skytrain.
