Rides can be booked on demand or scheduled, fares are set in advance, and bookings and payments are made through Coastal Rides’ online system via its app.

 

Coastal Rides founder Ryan Staley, who has an academic background in transportation planning, said he started the company because of gaps in the transportation system he experienced while living in Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast.

Uber Technologies Inc. says it’s recruiting drivers “from Nanaimo to Fort St. John and everywhere in between” as it plans an expansion outside B.C.’s major centre starting next year.

 

The ride-hailing service is currently only available in Victoria, Metro Vancouver and Kelowna, but received approval from the B.C. Passenger Transportation Board in May 2023 to operate across B.C.
