Announced Thursday I think that Province approved it all so operating in Metro Vancouver as of yesterday though Lyft is restricting themselves for now to just a small area in Vancouver.Not up and running yet is it? Thought it still had things to sort out even though it was approved.
I’ve used it in the US and it’s great.
Another time, my wife and I were in LA and go picked up by this HUGE very scary black guy with dreads. He had the sound system blasting a song with the lyrics, "N****r put the pot in the crock pot" which cycled over and over. We opted to get out long before out destination. "Um, I think we will get out right here, sir"
He was playing Migos. The genre of music is called trap.
From Wikipedia:
The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the first chart-topping single for both Migos and Lil Uzi Vert. A week after its peak, it was dethroned by Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You", but retrieved its peak position the following week and stood there for two more weeks before being replaced by "Shape of You" again. It remained in the top ten of the chart for 14 consecutive weeks and was later ranked as the sixth biggest song of 2017.[13]
"Bad and Boujee" has also peaked at number five in Canada, making it Migos and Lil Uzi Vert's first charted single in that country. As of June 20, 2017, the song has sold 4,000,000 units in the United States.[14] The song was certified 4× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)
Scary stuff
Wasn’t some of the issue that taxi drivers had to buy expensive licenses from the province to operate their cars and now anyone can Uber with a Class 4?
The cab companies can’t bitch if they can’t facilitate the need and not decide who they want to pick up and where they want to go at their own discretion. If they aren’t willing to fill the need I say bring on anyone who will compete or at least pickup the ones they won’t, and likely cheaper!
Anyone know what has happened to the value of cab licenses? I believe at one point they were in the $1M range and were coveted. I believe they are worth a little less now...
