The City better hope Edmonton doesn't get this going, because if they do and we don't, there is going be some political blow back. Calgarians have had enough of their taxi industry.

The city has made what appear to be sane regulations that maintain a level playing field BUT finally allow other operators other than licensed taxi's. This can only be seen as a good thing. The result is that if a "rideshare" cor other company wants to operate, they can, but will probably have to charge creates similar to Taxi's. I have no doubt some one will take the city up on this offer.
Curious, what part of the regulations do you think are unreasonable? Basically the only difference between Calgary and Edmonton are the type of vehicle inspection required, and maybe the city would be flexible on this, requiring alternating major/minor, or an initial major with minor ones done until a mileage cutoff.
