Roughly 150 frustrated taxi drivers packed into a room Thursday to speak out against proposed changes that could encourage Uber to come back to Calgary. They're invading each city the way they want, and they're imposing their rules on everybody," said taxi driver Omar Baidoun. But Uber maintains that Calgary's current fee structure is "cost-prohibitive." Under the current bylaw, Uber would have to pay the city $1,753 per year, plus an additional $220 per registered driver. If LTAC approves the changes, the report will come before a standing committee of council, and eventually will go to city council for a vote.
