Council deciding if Uber is a good fit for Lethbridge
LETHBRIDGE Uber could be a reality as soon as this summer for Lethbridge.
Michael van Hemmen, the ridesharing company’s public policy manager for western Canada, explained to City Council on Monday the numerous benefits Uber can offer.
“We’re really excited about coming to Lethbridge. It’s a progressive city with a great university and college, and we see a lot of interest both from people who want to have more safe, affordable rides, but also from people who are looking to make additional money.”
While it may seem that are a lot of similarities between taxis and ridesharing services, van Hemmen says there are a few key distinctions that make it an entirely unique experience.
