There are?
I call nonsense on this claim. I see vehicles being used for commerce every single day that wouldn't pass any sort of inspection process...demanding or not. (In fact I'm going to try and post a photo that I took myself a couple weeks ago to prove this) That's why when you see those commercial/truck check stops, they tow away vehicle after vehicle. They simply aren't mechanically safe in any sense of the word. And those aren't city stops IIRC, they are set up by Alberta transportation.
This whole concept of public/vehicle safety concerns by the city is preposterous. They care about one thing only in this case, and that's how to protect their financial well being from the taxi business and now how to extract 1500 bucks a crack from private citizens that are using their own vehicles to make a few bucks. I might add that these same people can pick up friends and family and drive them anywhere they need without a second thought, but the minute someone makes a dollar at it while couriering strangers it's the second coming of fentanyl.
I would really like to hear a serious and well thought out reason to oppose UBER instead of this stupid attempt at distraction. Though I suspect such an argument does not exist.
