The bill of rights details what passengers can expect when they climb in to a cab. The long list includes such things as having first aid kits readily available, that vehicles are no older than 15 years, and that proper safety restraints are provided for children under 16 years.You know... I'm all for people having "rights"... but are we actually paying out hard-earned tax dollars to these under-achievers?
The passenger bill of rights will be displayed on the back of car seats in every cab operating in the city.
The bill also guarantees that a passenger can expect a "silent" ride if they choose. It also spells out how drivers can't refuse to help passengers with luggage.
"It demonstrates to passengers that they have rights as consumers," said PSB member Craig Desjardins. "The bill also spells out how comfort and safety take a priority."
"It took a year to complete, but now we have a bylaw that works for everyone."It took a freakin' year to hammer this out? No wonder municipal infrastructure is fallin' down around our heads.
Why do we tolerate this type of nonsense?
