• News: Taxis vs Uber

    I am going to talk about the war between Taxis and Uber. It is maybe not the most important news of the semester but I heard a lot about it during all the semester, it affects a lot the population. 

    For months there is a real war between Taxis and Uber in Quebec.Taxis and Quebec government accuse Uber of being illegal and try to stop them. The taxi industry has been claiming for months Uber leads him unfair competition, since it is not regulated. 

    Taxis use many methods against uber: creation of "squads" anti-Uber; use of police to try to "seize" the Uber vehicles; permanent injunction presented by the Coalition of independent workers Steelworkers to try to declare Uberx "illegal"; calls Couillard government to intervene in the conflict, etc. This create many strikes by taxi which is very annoying for customers, the use of taxis being much more common in Canada than in France. 

    The government has created legislation: the law 100, however that does not seem to satisfy neither side, negotiations are therefore still ongoing.
