Take it to court. Fight it.
Lol and what is his defence?

Sorry to hear that. It is still rare to see cars with Uber sticker now a day. I put it on whenever online.
Whenever I ask someone why aren't they compliant they blame the cabbies. *******. You don't think cabbies have other things to do today than to mess with you? Then again, cabbies do have more time on their hands because, as all pax with children and no car seats say, then why do other uber drivers do it?

I've never put on the sticker and don't intend to. It draws unwanted attention from other drivers and honestly, is a little embarrassing to have on my car.

Every time I pass someone on the street with an Uber sticker, I gawk inside their car and see who's driving :D

Do you have a sticker in car just not on window? .... you can say it fell off if you have it in the back. Mines there, I just dont stick it to the window.
In this particular instance, the guy didn't have passengers. It is unlikely the ticket will net a conviction if he was not caught in the process of picking up or dropping off riders. Even still, if the person being picked up or dropped off is not a bylaw officer, there is no tangible proof that your car was actively working as a PTC at the time no sticker was displayed.

Really the guy could be going to the grocery store in his own time with no sticker. Just because his phone has the Uber app on it, it doesn't mean he was working.

Do you guys put on both front and rear windows?
In Toronto its one sticker only. Rear glass, bottom, right (passenger) side. I've only seen two or three drivers who've managed to actually put it in the right place.

This is exactly my case. This crap fell off all the time.

Was this ticket mailed to you? Of not, who served you the ticket? Police or bylaw? Were you pulled over or approached on foot?
Police. Approavhed on foot.

Fight the ticket.

If you have dashcam you have proof there were no passengers.

Also save your trip details/time to proove you had no passengers inside car at the time.

The sticker is only applicable if we are picking/dropping off a car.

Most likely you had some young dumbass pig give you the ticket to meet quota as it was end of the month.

My question to you- is your car windows tinted?

Judging by your ticket. I don't think your windows are tinted

You can write off the $240 ticket against your earnings just like other expenses.
