Article: Incredible: Woman Gets $500 Ticket for Carpooling

Let's troll them

SOmeone put a kijiji add saying they are driving to Vermont or something in a van and have room for 10 more people at only 10$ each and will be leaving Saturday.
Let them look for a van that doesn't exist.

How does that equals to 'real job'? At the end of the day, you drive a car. No offense to your taxi driver friends but when it has come for them to need to prevent people from carpooling in order to make end needs, then there is a problem and maybe it's time for a different career

@blackrex: How do you think the comagny's selling road maps felt when the GPS was invented and distributed to the public? And its this is just one exemple of many... Technology is changing everything. If your industry can't adopt, it will disapear.

Forget about gps, the road map companies were suing google maps for taking away their income by providing a free service.

It's the same bullshit tactics here.

There's an infinite amount of examples where technology and progress replace old methods and put people out of work. You have to continually evolve and offer something new/unique or you'll end up losing everything.
 
Here is what I would like to know, how did the Gustapo uh..... I mean the bureau de taxi , effectuate this "sting operation" . Did they pretend to be people who want in , then surround her house and giver her a ticket, or rendez vous with her at herpick up point? ??????????

Unfortunately, this laissez faire, over- governemtnal attitude of Quebec needs to be fixed.
 
they take complaint about people who called them then they set a trap by asking/calling for a pickup

we did it 3 times now with ''drivers'' who were offering illegal taxi on the south shore, called controleur routier with model of car,color,license plate. they were offering in ads on facebook about ''you need a taxi call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx" we called and asked for prices. couple days later ads were off and never saw those 3 retards doing pick ups in town.

don't worry they didn't stop her before research i'm sure she is hiding something in that story.
 
Carpooling:"I'm going to destination X. Would anyone like a ride?"
Taxi:"Where do you want to go?"
The difference is very clear cut. There is no arbitrary amount of money that defines the limit between carpooling and taxiing. If the driver sets the destination, it's carpooling. If the passenger sets the destination, it's a cab.

what if the conversation is:
Driver "I'm taking a drive"
Passenger "I"m going corner McGill and St-Catherine"
Driver "What a coincidence, me too!"
 
What about cash cab (taxi payant) and those Axe taxis that give you free rides downtown?

It is not about adapting.
It is an industry which has licensing requirements.
You need to pay the fees associated with the business just like any other.

In the taxi industry you need to have not only a taxi permit but it must be for the region where you operate.
A taxi driver from Laval cannot just decide to drive downtown and pick up fares.
At the same time you need a pocket number to drive a cab which means you must first get a class 4C license then pass an exam.
The taxi pays $831.19 for plates within the city and $925.69 outside the city.

Using your logic you should be able to put a still in the corner of a room to make your own alcohol and a stage for a live band in the other corner and open up a saloon.

You would need a permit for the still, a license to distill spirits, a liquor license to sell the liquor which also has conditions that go as far as dictating what kind of music live acts can perform. Actually you even need a permit for the lit sign in front of the bar.

These are brick and mortar businesses with physical property and they must play by the rules laid out or there will be consequences.
When they don't play by the rules they avoid paying fees which get paid to the government.
It is money that should be going towards paying for everything the government does for us.
I won't get into the whole big government issue because we will be here for the next 10 years.

Do I think this woman should have been fined for doing what she did?
No, she seems to have actually been properly advertising what seems like a logical ride share.
She goes to Freeport Forwarding to pick up parcels and splits her cost with people who need to go out of the country to renew their visas.

I am in heating , ventilation , and air conditioning.

MY employees must be licensed and trained by going to school then having apprenticed under a master for 4 years to become HVAC mechanic.
I need to pass exams administered by the CMMTQ (La Corporation des maîtres mécaniciens en tuyauterie du Québec)
I need pass 3 exams to be licensed by the RBQ (La Régie du bâtiment du Québec)
administration;
safety management on construction sites;
projects management and site management.
My employees must also pay dues to a union and the CCQ.

The day somebody can fix or install your heating or air conditioning over the internet is very far away still

Edited to add:
Everything we do in society has rules even the sports we love.
Nobody can arbitrarily decide tomorrow that they no longer want to pay either business taxes or property taxes or income taxes.

The whole issue at hand here is taxation and licensing and nothing else.

j'etait du bord de uber, parce que je supporte l'evolution et le libre marcher en general, mais apres avoir lu ton post,

j'ai changer mon fusil d'epaule, c'est vrai que c'est injuste pour les vrai taxi(qui eux sont reglementer).

dans ce cas ci, soit le gouv, dereglemente toute l'industrie ou s'arrange pour faire appliquer la lois contre le "co-voiturage" lucratif.

mais en meme temps, je trouve que l'industrie du taxi a besoin d'un sacrer update, c'est tellement desuet leur facon de faire.

je prend pas souvent de taxi, mais quand j'en prenais...ca me repugnais quasiment tellement que c'etait sale et mal-odorant.

colisse que ca sentait la charogne, j'ai rien contre les immigrants ou personne des autres ethni, mais crime le gars etait noir et il sentait vraiment tres fort.

j'ai des chums noirs et yen a qui ont une forte odeur corporelle et d'autre aucune.
