Toronto Uber driver Earla Phillips had a frustrating Tuesday. California’s Proposition 22, the most expensive ballot initiative in state history, was a touchstone vote on the future of app companies’ business model. A new Toronto-based coalition of workers, environmental organizations, researchers and cycling advocates known as Ride Fair has been watching closely. Closer to home, Ride Fair wants to ensure that power is checked. While Toronto’s new bylaws mandate a minimum $3.25 fare, Phillips said some of the rides she picks up through app companies still pay less than that.
