People in Halifax will be able to order an Uber starting Thursday afternoon, and at least one other ride-hailing company is eyeing a launch in the city before the end of the year. Uber did not share any more information when asked about details by CBC, including how many drivers are active in Halifax, or how many have applied. In September, Halifax council gave ride-hailing services like Uber the green light to operate in the municipality. The Canadian ride-hailing company Uride has yet to launch in Halifax, but its founder said it will be live by the end of the year. Halifax "deserves" this type of service, Ruberto said, and residents want choice.
