A public gallery mainly consisting of taxi drivers and owners within the CBRM listen in during Tuesday night's municipal council meeting at city hall, a public hearing with respect to a proposed new passenger vehicle for hire bylaw. IAN NATHANSON/CAPE BRETON POSTSYDNEY, N.S. — Taxi owners and drivers feel there’s a major communication gap between them and the Cape Breton Regional Municipality when it comes to understanding the updated proposed passenger vehicle for hire bylaw.
“The way it’s coming out is … as of right now, North Sydney is not being dispatched from North Sydney, New Waterford is not being dispatched from New Waterford; it’s being dispatched from Dynasty Taxi in Sydney,” said John James Donohue, owner/operator of Sydney-based City Wide Taxi. “They’re doing three towns in one city.
These would go along with proposed amendments from last year recommended by a working group consisting of taxi owner representatives, taxi users, CBRM staff, council and members of the Cape Breton Regional Police. Burt responded that “there was no indication on companies as to where they set up or whatever. You can set up a company, but there was nothing that can prevent you from operating more than one company.”
Paul Burt, CBRM’s manager of building, planning and licensing laws:"So there is now a reality that there are cars and maybe licences in two or three service areas." IAN NATHANSON/CAPE BRETON POSTBurt tried to reassure council and the gallery of mainly taxi owners and drivers nothing sinister is taking place and that he is open for further conversations and clarifying what the new proposed bylaw would entail.
