BC Transportation Minister Claire Trevena has written a letter to the Passenger Transportation Board about the lack of vehicle caps put on ride hailing companies.

Trevena cites "widespread concerns" related to the introduction of ridesharing, specifically, potential congestion in Metro Vancouver.

Last month, the Passenger Transportation Board released its set of regulations for ridesharing companies who plan to operate in BC.

Companies were allowed to apply for licences starting two days ago.
