The Municipality of Kincardine issued an update today to residents on taxi licensing after receiving complaints about multiple persons running unlicensed taxi services.
Kincardine says it requires operators to hold a valid municipal taxi driver’s license in order to operate taxis, limousines or other vehicles for hire.
The Municipality requires both the vehicle & driver of a taxi meet certain criteria including confirmation of insurance, safety checks every two years, and valid vulnerable sectors and driver’s license check.
To identify a licensed taxi, look for such things as a taxi light on its roof, vehicle must have a meter and the driver’s identification must be posted within the vehicle.
