TORONTO – Beck Taxi is promising it will investigate how and why a line of up to 20 taxis ended up idling in a downtown Toronto bike lane Friday night, drawing plenty of online ire.

Outraged Twitter users caught the cabs clogging a separated bike lane on Richmond St. W near Bay Street.

Many reacted with pledges to boycott Beck and suggest that the company should be more sensitive of its public image during the ongoing battle against Uber.

Beck responded saying the lineup was unintentional and that it plans to look into the incident.

However, Beck spokesperson Kristine Hubbard also threw some blame at the city itself, blaming it isn’t providing enough legal parking spots to accommodate the growing number of taxi licenses.
