Taxi driving down a street

Limos, ride-hailing vehicles, and taxis on the street

Important changes to Canada Place vehicle circulation

Starting in April 2025, Canada Place will be one-way, with traffic going west from Howe to Burrard streets. Learn more about this change

Our goal is for limos, ride-hailing vehicles, and taxis on the street to complement transit and active travel, advance shared mobility, and contribute to an efficient and safe transportation system.

Drivers, passengers, and companies can help ensure that all ride-hailing activity follows both our street and traffic by-laws and the Province’s rules .
