Frustrated by the slow taxi service, BLVD Bar and Grill owner Michael Ghorayeb started an online petition to bring ride-hailing services to Châteauguay.

The poll, conducted by Environics on behalf of Ridesharing Now B.C., found there is a rush to see services like Uber and Lyft available on B.C.'s roads.

People caught illegally operating a ride-hailing service are subject to penalties and fines of $1,150.

The ride-hailing service Lyft has announced it will expand into Canada, with Toronto becoming their first market.

Taxis are losing business travellers to ride-hailing services like Uber, a survey shows.
