Province approves two more ride-sharing licences
The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has issued ride-sharing service licences to Ride Technologies Inc. and GrandHubX.
The province first announced the introduction of a provincial approach to ride-sharing in October. Legislative amendments to permit ride-sharing services to operate within the province came into effect on Dec. 21.
Transportation Network Companies are required to obtain a licence from the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to operate in Newfoundland and Labrador and ride-sharing drivers are required to hold a Class 4 licence.
More information about ride-sharing, including how to apply for licences, is available online.
