Illegal taxis rife at airport
Illegal taxis are rife at the airport, but complicated rules that are evidently difficult to enforce are not making it easy to sort out.

I don’t understand how this is a problem considering there’s a taxi queue, you can’t miss it. Anyone who travels internationally should understand that grabbing a ‘taxi” out of queue is probably not going to 100% along the rules. Can’t the drivers assist in identifying/policing the illegal taxis in the queue?

The pirate taxis actually have touts inside the airport as soon as you exit the doors of arrivals. They aren’t in the queue.

LOL and it’s because the province caved to Uber. So pathetic.

This problem is similar to the Airbnb issue – the local overseer (City of Montreal, ADM) says that the proliferation of short-term rentals or non-cab/non-rideshare is a nuisance to orderly civic life, that they lack the legal means or operational capacity to do anything about it and that they need help from the province. The province says, Nah, you deal with it. And so it worsens.
