Councillor Sheppard asked what would be required to amend the by-law to include a private bus service.

Answer recorded
Mr. Mugford noted that there was a definition for “Bus Operated as a Vehicle for Hire” and for “Shuttle”, which would fall under the parameters of the Vehicle for Hire By-law. He explained that if there was a bus or shuttle providing a service requiring riders to pay, it would be governed under the Vehicle for Hire By-law. Mr. Mugford advised that the definition could be expanded to include a transit or shuttle bus.

Councillor Sheppard asked if hotel and airport courtesy shuttles were covered under the by-law.

Answer recorded
Mr. Mugford explained that courtesy shuttles do not fall under the Vehicle for Hire By- law as no fee is being charged. He noted that gratuities could be accepted based on territory and federal laws.
