That's because the taxi/limo companies live deep in certain politicians pockets. The limo companies are protecting their interests in gouging the consumer in BC.
Listening to the Taxi people talk about Uber not adhering to "Business Practices in BC" is a complete joke. God forbid someone came in and forced the taxi companies to up their game and offer better service. I can't even count the number of times I have gotten into some beat down rebuild taxi that feels like it is on the verge of exploding or falling apart. Long wait times and high prices on top of that it's no wonder these guys are worried about someone like uber coming to town.
UberX is whatever... would like to see Uber Black make a return.
I do also believe that one of the largest limo companies in town is owned by the major shareholder in one of the cab companies.
