Transportation Network Services
Now available: a PDF of the presentation used at Educational Sessions around the province: Passenger Transportation Act and Regulations – Province Requirements (PDF)
In a Transportation Network Service (TNS), or ride-hail, a passenger hires and pays for travel in a licenced passenger directed vehicle (PDV) through a website or mobile application.
These vehicles operate under the authority of ride-hail companies and must comply with B.C. provincial regulations and any municipal bylaws that apply.
Fees for services are paid through the application or website directly to the driver and the TNS company through which the driver operates.
