Ride-sharing’s first anniversary for BC

Before a year ago, uber and lyfts were not here in Vancouver. Thankfully I got to utilize them before the pandemic ruined my chances of getting picked up from a bar with my friends, ah, good times. After a much-drawn-out and dubious process over years that gave this province the largest North American urban centre’s claim without a significant ride-hailing operator.

The Passenger Transportation Board (PTB), the provincial regulating power for taxi and ride-hailing businesses, passed Lyft and Uber’s entry on January 23, 2020. Happy one year to finally getting ubers; I cant believe we survived before this.
