The city of Corner Brook has been getting reports of issues experienced by some mobility challenged residents in getting a taxi. At this week’s public meeting, Deputy Mayor Linda Chaisson says up until now, Star Taxi has been providing this type of service but can’t get drivers since it is more time consuming, and demanding a driver to provide this service is not sustainable. Chaisson says Star taxi recommended the city pay a stipend of ten dollars per trip as an incentive. The city will run this as a pilot program for six months to be reviewed by staff to determine long term feasibility. The pilot program is expected to start as soon as possible.
