Approved Ride-Hail Companies
There are five operating regions for ride hail in B.C. as determined by the Passenger Transportation Board.
The following table lists companies that are currently approved by the Passenger Transportation Board to operate ride-hail services in B.C.
Although these companies are approved to operate ride-hail services anywhere in the stated regions, these services may currently be nonoperational, or may operate only in select areas within the approved regions.
