Does phony John Tory know 2 Uber drivers plead guilty to operating unlicensed taxis?

[boodog]

Two Uber drivers pleaded guilty to operating an unlicensed taxi on Thursday, while one had his charges withdrawn and five other cases were adjourned in an Ottawa court.

The two guilty pleas will lead to $400 fines, which is less than half of a potential fine for driving an unlicensed taxi and being an unlicensed driver.

The city has said operating an unlicensed cab is a $260 fine, while being an unlicensed driver is a $615 fine.

Amrik Singh, who heads the union for Ottawa's taxi drivers, said the guilty pleas were a victory for the 1,800 licensed drivers he represents.

Charges against one driver were withdrawn because the bylaw officer failed to sign the tickets.

The five adjourned cases will return to court on April 23.

Coincidentally, the general manager of Uber in Ontario was also in Ottawa on Thursday to speak to the Economic Club of Canada.

Ian Black said Uber would work with the drivers charged and "support them," but would not say if the company would pay the fines.

Black also said Uber wants to improve ride-sharing in Ottawa.

"We want to work co-operatively with the City of Ottawa to help create regulations so that we can have a regulated ride-sharing in the city," he said.

Do you have any idea how many licensed taxi drivers have criminal records?
Or how many licensed taxi drivers actually assault their customers?

You should if you run for mayor, it's in the fine print. If Phoney Tory was a REAL mayor like Ford, he could hang out smoking crack with the criminals and politely ask how many are cab drivers. Out of 30 drugged out losers on crack .. there could be 5 cab drivers, one limo driver (Levi) and one fat useless alcoholic drugged out REAL Toronto mayor !

I don't know.

How many?

How many are still driving licensed taxi's after they get caught assaulting their customers or being charged for mayor criminal offense(s)?

Not that I have any doubt Uber letting its associate drivers go on driving either when they get caught doing anything un-becoming as public transit drivers.

The major issues here are two:

1) This (public) transit service isn't licensed (Uber refuses to be licensed) so it isn't covered by government oversight and hence no government standard of consumer protection.

2) No commercial insurance for proper insurance for the passenger public, the associate drivers, and third party liability coverage.

If the city does not enforce the by-laws, at its current form, it might also therefore be sued by victims.

You are making the assumption that UBER is a public service.

I know what you wrote, idiot.

And that is the grey area, moron... you need an app on your phone to use Uber, and part of downloading that app and creating an account is agreeing to a set of Ts+Cs (that's terms and conditions, for stupid people like yourself). It is NOT the same as hopping on a bus or hailing a cab at the street corner.

So after agreeing to a set of (Ts + Cs) this Uber service is available to any member of PUBLIC for hire?

FUCK you are stupid...
EVERYONE is a 'member of PUBLIC' as you so un-eloquently put it.

"So after passing the entrance screening tests, and paying a $20,000 entrance fee and a $10,000 annual maintenance fee, the exclusive golf course 'is available to any member of PUBLIC".

Fuck, it would be easier talking to a retarded dog.

I am glad you agree:

Btw those "public" golf courses still have to be licensed by local government by-laws, unlike Uber misinformed concept, and fully covered by commercial insurance.

And Uber vehicles have valid license plates and stickers, as well as drivers with valid driver's licenses and automobile insurance.

Not license to transport members of PUBLIC.

Not COMMERCIAL INSURANCE to compensate passenger public, associate drivers and third party liability commercial insurance.

Hence the Tc+Cs in the user agreement... commercial insurance isn't needed to drive a buddy back home and if he gives you 20 bucks for your time, then he's just being a good buddy.

Thats your prerogative to call any passenger public as "buddy".



Lets the court(s) decides.
