He commented that he believes a licence granted for a Taxicab Company should become the property of the company. Mr. Collins stated that he believes this is a common practice in other cities. He suggested that a licence be available to other qualified licenced drivers and be transferrable throughout the year at no additional cost. Mr. Collins noted that he feels the City should require a minimum amount of investment, effort and aptitude in order to qualify for a Taxi Company licence. He suggested additional requirements for the taxi industry related to: · Dispatch centres and record keeping. · Minimum number of taxis for each company. · Identifiable taxicabs through the use of colours and/or decals. · A working knowledge of English and the geography of Barrie. · Offices within City limits for all taxi companies. · Taxicabs must not be older than five years. · Discounts should be permitted for seniors. · ImplemenWed, 22 Feb 2023 19:37:50 GMT
