It’s a cheaper ride starting Monday for those who take cabs in Calgary.
Taxi companies are taking advantage of amendments to the Livery Transport By-law allowing them to set their own rates.
All four major cab companies have announced rates will be lowered between 12 and 15 per cent.
The amendments came along with specific rules for ridesharing companies wanting to operate in Calgary, though Uber has declined to provide its services here, saying the rules are too stringent.
