Stratford Police have been busy lately charging unlicensed ride share operators who are running outside of Stratford’s taxi bylaw.
Police say the bylaw requires anyone providing a vehicle for hire service in the city must have a valid taxi license with insurance and those who don’t have either could be subject to fines under the taxi bylaw.
Licensed taxis can be found with a valid taxi number plate on the exterior of the vehicle and a licensed driver can be identified with an official photo taxi driver license displayed inside the vehicle.
