That was Burnaby Mayor, Mike Hurley, speaking to our Global News reporter Robyn Crawford.
He’s reacting to the recommendations that were supported by Vancouver City Council yesterday. If you plan on being a ride-share driver in Vancouver, it will cost you $155 dollars for a licence fee, and $100 per vehicle.
A surcharge has also been passed of 30 cents per pick up and drop off to avoid congestion in busy downtown areas.
Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley says licensing fees may make it hard for his residents to get home from Vancouver.
And he’s not the only Mayor that’s raising concerns about what Vancouver City Council is doing here. Jonathan Cote is the Mayor of New Westminster, and also chair of the Translink Mayors’ Council. He joins me now.
