More like 2009. 

Today's leading ride-hailing app by far, Uber Technologies, was founded in 2009...

I am assuming then that the Uber's have to pay the short term parking fee?

It's 1$ to enter the lot anyways, most other motor carriers have had to buy a annual swipe card to enter the lot thru the gate. They aren't cheap and require full cost to replace, VAA nickels and dimes everyone to death  that uses the airport.

Actually I find it quite reasonable. The AIF is well below most other airports, and $1 is nothing for short term parking at an airport. Actually, you get 2 hours of parking for that $1, it's cheaper than downtown.

Well, YYJ is a small airport. It’s only right it charges less.

Sure, but they're still on the low end. Our AIF is $15. In Prince George and Smithers it's $25, Kelowna is $20 .. Prince Rupert is $46!

 

YYJ is the lowest among all the other provincial capitals - Winnipeg $38, St John's $42, Regina $20, Edmonton $35, Fredericton $25, Halifax $35, Charlottetown $20, Quebec City $35, Toronto $30.

Lower heating bills, and only five days of snow plowing and winter operations, instead of five months.
