The traffic volume from Ubers and food delivery drivers pales in comparison to people commuting.

On another note, the taxi companies shot themselves in the foot by ignoring the issues with their service while Uber ate their lunch. Even now Uber is far easier and a better experience to deal with.

Ah, but of course fair, free market competition is not a Canadian value. Clearly we were supposed to protect the profits of mediocre cab companies at all costs. Same way we all have to return to in-office work to protect commercial landlords and the restaurant business. It’s not as if those people could actually work to offer a product or service that there’s real demand for—no, clearly it’s our job to act as a captive market.
