Psst haven't you heard?..Government has the power to change the laws! :dizzy:

A Vancouver taxi medallion? A million bucks? Maybe before but not anymore:

Even before Uber arrives in B.C., it has the taxi industry in disarray

It's such a life saver when you are traveling in developing countries.

“Plus, all taxi drivers have to receive official training by the Justice Institute (of B.C.) and (undergo) a criminal check by the police. Those unlicensed companies are not able to do that.”
LMAO with how aggressive taxi drivers are, this statement is laughable.

let me turn on my hazards and just stop in a no stopping zone because I am a Taxi

No matter the time, I never once waited more than 5 minutes for a ride regardless of where I was going or how many people were with me
I use Uber once a week. Its as much or slightly cheaper or more, but a much better experience and quality of the ride compared to a HK taxi

Cabs are so fucking unreliable here you're better off making other arrangements...

Numerous times I've had to take cab from home, hastings/Nanaimo to somewhere downtown on like a ducking Saturday afternoon it's 45-hour wait..

In Toronto we would be ready to go out (4-6 of us) call an Uber and every single time we were gone in under 5 minutes, Saturday night, Sunday morning, Monday afternoon, didn't matter.

Cab service here is a fucking joke.

StylinRed 07-18-2017 10:04 PM
longest ive waited for a cab is 10mins but i rarely need one

Tim Budong 07-18-2017 10:08 PM
the best use of this service would be to get home after a night out
gov't needs to make this happen

Only used Uber in Toronto and like Hondaracer said, it was absolutely fantastic. I was staying on King Street West in downtown but it never took more than 5 minutes before an Uber showed up after I used to app to get one.

The idea of having to wait 30-60 mins for a cab in downtown Vancouver at anytime is absolutely ridiculous.

They also don't seem to care about tips one time i accidentally short charged the guy he didn't even count the money.


are these all fronts? I feel like the real business is selling a legitimate job for immigration purpose to the parents of these kids.


Maybe It was just coincidence but it was bizarre
STI? Maserati? ML55?





what a disgrace to his family, not even a lambo or ferrari


no wonder they are so poor

you cant compare uber to a HK TAXI when HK taxis are one of the worst in the world

in my 3 weeks stay in HK, all my taxi drivers were terrible at driving, used cellphones, even fcking talked in the whole ride using his cellphone and i had to tell him to shut the fck up.

obviously they're violating their insurance policies, unless they have a class 4 license.

Not all of us can buy nice cars, 'kay...

Also, if you think a tricked out STI would be bad, you haven't seen this gem I spotted in UVic...:heckno:

The dude even has a vanity plate with his name on it. Like he is proud to have this thing around.:heckno:

eatmeal.ca
longmendelivery.com

they have a pretty nifty wechat app with menu built into it. Never tried website not sure if it works the same

Next time when you go to any chinese restaurant and cafe, there are usually a gazillion sticker at the front glass door. At least a couple of those stickers will be delivery service. There are ALOT of these service now those are the two I've personally used.

There is a surchage and it looks like they dont have the complete menu.
