Uber launches petition for support ahead of regulations vote

By News Staff

Uber launched a petition Tuesday ahead of what it calls “the most important vote” in the future of ride-sharing in Toronto.

Users received an email urging them to share their positive ride-sharing experiences publicly on social media and with their councilors directly.

The petition had more than 25,000 signatures just before noon Wednesday.

“We expect this to be a tight vote, with strong opponents who want to stop progress,” the email read. “Uber in Toronto depends on this vote.”
