Uber's general manager in Alberta, Ramit Kar, says he's pleased with council's decision but he's disappointed the city is continuing to push ahead with its attempt to get an injunction against Uber drivers.
Kar defends Uber's decision to launch as it has given Calgarians a chance to see the product and how it works.
Uber says it will work with the city on the new regulations but it plans to remain in service in Calgary as it considers itself to be not covered by the city's rules.

It's good the city is working on this now, but man, the arrogance in that last sentence...we might want to be careful what we wish for...
Of course you are covered by the cities rules, it's not like it's written in Cyrillic. It says if you operate a service for hire to transport passengers, you are required to follow the bylaws. It's not open to interpretation. It's pretty f'n clear. Now if they said they were doing it as a protest, or to force rule changes, fine. But to claim they don't apply to you is arrogance. Makes you wonder what other laws they will say don't apply to them when the time comes...
