Uber Canada says it wants to expand into Halifax, Nova Scotia, although it needs residents to help make that happen.
The company has been promoting a survey conducted the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) that asks residents for their thoughts on taxi services in the area and if they would consider taking Uber or Lyft. Haligonians have untilĀ October 11th to complete the five-minute survey.
In an interview with theĀ CBC, Uber Canada public policy manager Chris Schafer said that the company is “very confident” that the survey will demonstrate demand for additional transportation options like ride-hailingĀ services in Halifax.
“We’ve used various ways, e-mail, social media, to let [residents] know HRM is seeking their feedback,” said Schafer told theĀ CBC.Ā “We feel those people, when they come back to Halifax, would like to have the same opportunity that other Canadians and people around the world currently enjoy,” said Schafer. “We are hopeful that will be reflected in the survey.”
Currently, Uber is only available inĀ a handful of Canadian cities, including Toronto, Montreal and Calgary.
