Ride-sharing coming

PRINCE GEORGE – Ride-sharing has been a hot topic in the Lower Mainland for some time now, but not so much here.

Not anymore.

An Ontario-based company has applied to the Province to provide ride-sharing in five BC communities, including Prince George. None of the communities in Uride’s application are in the Lower Mainland and there’s a reason for that.

“I’m originally from Thunder Bay which is a fairly small community. These communities have been a little bit neglected when it comes to ride-sharing,” explain Cody Ruberto, CEO of Uride. “Transportation is a major issue in a lot of smaller communities that don’t have access to public transit.”
