One of the city's best-known taxi companies has reacted swiftly to a video posted on Reddit.

Taken by a passenger, it shows a Yellow Cab Vancouver driver texting while behind the wheel.

The passenger has claimed that the driver was told three times to stop texting, but he carried on.

That led to a complaint to Yellow Cab's customer service department.

The company responded that the driver has been suspended and that the video has been forwarded to the Vancouver police.

Police oversee the issuance of chauffeur permits in Vancouver, which can be withdrawn at hearings held in the Vancouver council chamber.
