Toronto Mayor John Tory has called for “one bylaw” to clear-up the confusion about Uber and the city’s licensed taxi cabs. The province pledged in its budget to review the sharing economy in general, which includes Uber but also rental services such as AirBnB, but has yet to take any action.

Ottawa has also struggled to either regulate or ban Uber. The service doesn’t operate in Vancouver after the province imposed a minimum $75 fare.

But passengers shouldn’t be too concerned, Toronto police spokesperson Mark Pugash said Tuesday. Officers aren’t ticketing passengers, he said, and previous efforts to ticket drivers under the Highway Traffic Act for inadequate insurance failed.

“The courts said that was not the way to go,” Pugash said. “Our view is this is an issue for the municipality, and the mayor… has said this is a municipal licensing and standards issues… it’s our view that it’s an issue for the city and if they decide they need new bylaws or need to amend existing bylaws, that’s not something police have a role in.”

“The indication from the courts is that something like the Highway Traffic Act is not the way to regulate something like Uber,” Pugash said. However, he did note that Uber drivers, like anyone else behind the wheel, are subject to impaired driving laws, distracted driving fines and other rules of the road.

Karygiannis has been one of city hall’s most vocal opponents of Uber. When asked about donations to his political campaigns by drivers, taxi companies and the industry, he said he was listening to his constituents, who include taxi drivers and the industry, and that “money came from my constituents, from different industries and from different people.”

The city councillor also said his UberX concerns are based on “consumer protection and passenger safety.”
