TORONTO --
Beck Taxi is urging the province to immediately prioritize cab drivers for COVID-19 vaccination, noting that they are among the few essential workers who are expected to interact with known positive COVID-19 cases.
Speaking to CP24 on Monday morning, Kristine Hubbard, the operations manager for Beck Taxi, said she is constantly getting calls from drivers inquiring about when they will be eligible for a vaccine.
“This is a situation where our province and our city are telling people, ‘Don't take public transit if you are sick. Take a taxi.’ And so these are the people who are escorting our most vulnerable members of our community door-to-door,” she said.
