Uber expressed dissatisfaction with Toronto City Council’s recent decision to impose a temporary freeze on new ride-share licences for up to one year. The company cautioned that the move could lead to increased prices and extended waiting times for customers.
“Mayor [Olivia] Chow’s cap will ultimately hurt the diverse group of Torontonians who rely on rideshare as part of their transportation mix and those who drive rideshare for additional income, especially in a time of rising costs,” Uber Canada said in a statement on Oct. 11.
