Ride-hailing service Kater experiencing difficulty signing up new drivers ahead of 2022 B.C. launch

Surrey, British Columbia-based ride-sharing visitor Kater is having a hard time finding drivers before its planned 2019 launch.

Kater said it was operating for 3 years in Surrey "as an app connecting users with personal drivers for their own vehicles," just now it wants to bring the service to the rest of the province.

The service, similar to Lyft and Uber, which are both not available in Vancouver, was initially set to launch in the early function of 2019, but now that might be pushed to a much later unannounced engagement.

Kater has been offer new drivers who sign upwardly a bonus of up to $1,700 CAD. Global Newsreported that the incentive was because there was a shortage of Class iv licence holders, which is the licence needed to bulldoze taxis in the province.

Liberal Member of Legislative Parliament Jas Johal said if B.C. requires all drivers to hold a Form 4 licence so it would limit competition for ride-hailing services.

"Information technology is zippo more than than putting lipstick on a pig," he said. "If [the government was] serious about testing ridehailing in this province information technology should be Uber and Lyft and anyone else who plans to enter the market, not just a visitor that is being advised by Moe Sihota, the former president of the NDP."

B.C. transportation minister Claire Trevena appear legislation that would allow companies like Uber and Lyft to operate in the province past former at the stop of this year. The B.C. NDP government has been criticized for delaying this legislation since it was first announced as function of Premier John Horgan'southward 2017 election pledge.

Vancouver is currently one of Canada's largest cities that doesn't have any legal ride-sharing options.
