People in Corner Brook have a chance to comment on proposed changes to the city’s taxi regulations up until September 4th. At Monday’s public meeting, Councillor Pamela Keeping says there is a motion before council to enact the Taxi Regulations 2024, which includes changes to the definitions and other sections in order to differentiate other services from that of Taxi’s and to accommodate new amendments to the Highway Traffic Act that regulates ride-sharing services. Changes include fixing the number of taxis in the city, requiring that the operators of taxis have a licence to operate in the city and fixing a fee to be paid for the licences. Also, fixing fares to be paid by users of taxis, prescribing the inspection of taxis on an annual or other basis that the council may set out in the regulations,, setting out standards for taxis, and authorizing and assigning stands for taxis, and the erection and maintenance of the stands. The motion will be brought forward at the next public council meeting set for September 9th.
