New Nanaimo rideshare service promising to be ‘cheapest option in town’
NANAIMO — Several have tried, however one company appears finally ready to provide rideshare services on central Vancouver Island.
Uride has announced plans to begin operating in the Nanaimo area by the end of November, with dozens of drivers already signed on and more completing final checks and requirements.
Ravi Dhami, Uride’s western Canada operations manager, told NanaimoNewsNOW they’re putting the final touches on the Nanaimo service after rolling it out through the Interior earlier this year.
“The driver’s requirements to join our platform, you have to have a commercial vehicle inspection done on our vehicle, you have to pass a vulnerable sector check with the RCMP and you have to have a class four license.”
