After a few false starts, ride-hailing service Uber is officially launching in Winnipeg, a news release says.
After a few false starts, ride-hailing service Uber is officially launching in Winnipeg, a news release says.
The company will make an announcement Tuesday morning at city hall, which will include the city's first Uber passenger.
A map included with the news release shows Uber's coverage area will mostly be within the Perimeter Highway.
Uber representatives said in March that the company was recruiting drivers in Winnipeg with the intention to be operating in the city by the end of the spring.
The company tried to launch in Winnipeg in 2018, after the City of Winnipeg and the province passed laws that would allow ride-hailing services to enter the market, but couldn't reach an agreement with Manitoba Public Insurance on an insurance model.
