TNC -What are your thoughts
prior to being issued a licence, a TNC shall:
i. provide proof, to the satisfaction of the City, that it has obtained adequate insurance to operate as a TNC;
ii. provide proof, to the satisfaction of the City, of the adequacy of the TNC's processes with respect to criminal background screening, driving record screening, motor vehicle inspections, and electronic record keeping; and
iii. enter into an agreement to indemnify the City against any loss related to the use of that TNC's private vehicles-for-hire;
b. TNCs obtain insurance coverage at a similar level to taxicabs and limousines that is
sufficient to protect the drivers of and individuals using private vehicles-for-hire;
c. TNCs conduct criminal background and driving record checks of their drivers;
d. TNCs ensure that vehicles used by drivers are mechanically inspected by a licensed mechanic in a manner similar to taxicabs and limousines;
e. TNCs maintain and submit records as a part of a mandatory audit process to ensure compliance with the regulations;
f. TNCs pay a licence fee on a flat-rate or per-ride basis, or combination thereof, that ensures full recovery by the City of the cost of creating, administering, and enforcing a TNC licence category; and
g. The TNCs licence may be subject to revocation for non-compliance.

And now we know why the safe rider fee was bumped up by $0.50. To recover the cost the city is taking. The city of Toronto will make a fortune with Uber. And I don't think that's a bad thing.

As long as they repave at least the worst Toronto street - Gerrard street, so cars can actually be used on it, I'm all for it. Add Richmond and Jarvis to the equation, and I'll be more than happy.
