Beck Taxi’s operations general manager Kristine Hubbard calls city staff's recommendation of capping rideshare drivers at 80,000 licences “absurd” Hubbard said there are only 56,000 Uber and Lyft drivers in the city right now with no existing cap.

Councillor Brad Bradford says he doesn’t think a cap is even “necessary”.
