Surrey’s mayor says ‘large amount’ of residents don’t want ridesharing… but is that accurate?

Mayors from Metro Vancouver almost all voted Thursday to fast-track a regional business licence model for ridesharing companies at the TransLink mayor’s council.

All, that is, except for one.

Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum was the sole voice of opposition around the table — voting against the motion because many residents of Surrey don’t want ridesharing in the city at all, he said.
