Uber has been temporarily suspended in Edmonton.

  • Ramit Kar, Uber’s general manager for Alberta responded to the province’s ride sharing policy by stating that the company was temporarily suspending its operations in Edmonton at 6 a.m. on March 1. He went on to say:

    “With no action by the NDP government on ridesharing, the Province has cost thousands of Edmonton families a source of income by forcing Uber to suspend operations in the city. Uber will respect the government’s decisions, and a temporary suspension will take effect at 6:00 AM on March 1st unfortunately depriving tens of thousands of local riders a safe, affordable and reliable transportation alternative.

    Uber will continue to work with officials in Alberta in the hopes of bringing ridesharing back to Edmonton soon. Given the city bylaw applies within the city limits of Edmonton, we will continue to enable ridesharing services in surrounding areas.”
