    The city of Corner Brook has approved a revision to the Taxi Regulations 2018 to provide a clearer definition of “Taxi.” It now excludes “Ride Share Services” and “Chauffeur Services” since the province already regulates these services. Councillor Vaughn Granter says staff identified a need for more clarity of the scope of the regulation. The Director met with Taxi Service providers and a Chauffeur service provider to ensure the revised regulation was acceptable to their service operations. The city’s Chief Administrative Officer, Darren Charters says there has been only one ride share application and it has been approved. No comments have been received from the public regarding the proposed revisions to the regulation.
