Uber may soon be operating in two more B.C. cities.

The company has applied to the BC Passenger Transportation Board (PTB) for a licence transfer from another rideshare company to operate in Kelowna and Victoria. For the licence transfer to be approved, the PTB has to consider whether Uber is fit and proper to operate, and is capable of providing the proposed service.

Uber was denied an expanded rideshare licence in August 2020. The PTB stated that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for passenger-directed transportation was still too low in the province to issue any more licences.

Concerns were also raised about existing rideshare licences not being adequately utilized.
