The Uber controversy has been lingering in Vancouver for the past few months, this article by Business in Vancouver has an interesting outlook on the situation. The expansion of Vancouver’s taxi service has been in talks for a while now, but rules in Vancouver has put the Uber service to a temporary pause. Uber is a company in which allows for accessibility and possibilities for both drivers and riders. For instance, Uber offers vehicles at a different price. So whether you need a car to get around in like a typical taxi service or a luxury/larger vehicle, Uber has that capability. In addition, the innovation that comes with Uber is impeccable, with service available to anyone with a smartphone. (everyone these days) The article states that Uber Canada Representatives has been in and out of city council chambers trying to reintroduce the Uber service to Vancouverites. What the City is worried about is that Uber is able to operate without the same kinds of training/licensing taxi drivers receive and that the quality of the Uber service is also poor, due to self-employment. While expanding the taxi service in Vancouver would be excellent in creating full-time jobs for Vancouverites, the uniqueness of the Uber service and what it can do for a well-developed city such as Vancouver is hard to say without any chances given out. After further analysis, I believe that the Uber service is something that the city should carefully look into, and be given a chance. Uber not only provides a similar service to taxis, but they offer choice, while also providing jobs, something the city is hesitant with.
