Does this mean that Uber passengers are cover by the SAAQ, or are you still on Uber’s private insurance in case of an accident? Does anyone know? (Because under the temporary law, you weren’t covered by the SAAQ if the driver was on a passenger car registration.)

Wonder how they arrive at this figure, there are only 7,600 taxi permits in Quebec.

@thomas isn’t it common for permit-holders to share/rent their permits when not in use? I can imagine one permit/medallion being used consistently by three+ people…

I worked with a guy whose dad raised 4 boys working 70 hours a week as a taxi driver.
Thats why I don’t take Ubers.
