company called Kater will soon begin testing its new taxi service, using what it describes as Vancouver's first legally compliant ride-hailing app. In B.C., a Class-4 licence is required for people to drive commercial vehicles like buses, ambulances, taxis and limousines. Ride-hailing or taxi service? Kater plans to fully launch later this spring with 140 cars servicing various regions around Metro Vancouver, including Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond, and North Vancouver. Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver says this app isn't the ride-hailing service people in B.C.
