Taxicabs and other vehicles-for-hire in Canada are regulated by local municipalities and provinces,[1] and are owned & operated by private companies and individuals. Unlicensed cabs in some cities are referred to as bandit taxis/cabs.[2][3]
In the late 2010s into the 2020s, the Canadian taxi industry has faced competition from ridesharing services (also known as ride-hailing services or transportation network services), such as Uber and Lyft, which have been welcomed in some cities.[1][4] Some jurisdictions have enacted regulations or taken legal action to explicitly prevent the operation of ridesharing services; some have treated them as unlicensed “bandit” taxis and have taken law enforcement action against them; and others enacted or revised bylaws (or have considered doing so) to allow the licensing and operation of ride-sharing within their jurisdictions.[1]
