…for putting a series of utterly inane rules on the simple act of carpooling. A company up there has been fined (!) for daring to hook up riders and drivers, after the bus companies complained about it.

Wow. I see how that happened—it’s not that they were passing laws on carpooling, it’s that they were setting limits on public vehicles like buses, and in doing so needed to define “carpool vehicle” so that driving your friends to work and taking gas money from them wouldn’t suddenly make you a bus. But yeah, it had the effect of setting a restrictive definition on carpools for the bus company to exploit. (Also, the effect of allowing the Ontario Star to use the phrase “legalize rideshare services” with a straight face.)
So what happens when my regular bus driver is sick? Do the buses just not run?
