________ l~l~--4~9~-Reliable Taxi Ltd.
The Committee recommends that these applications to operate new taxi brokerages
within the Town of Aurora be denied. The Committee makes this recommendation
for the following reasons:-
l. There is a sufficient number of taxi cabs presently operating in the Town
of Aurora to service our population with a ratio of one cab per 1500 people.
In view of the fact that most Aurora trips are relatively short trips, it
is felt that this ratio is adequate for the Town of Aurora. Other
municipalities have a ratio of one cab per 1,000 people, but such municipalities
are physically much larger than Aurora and the average trip is of considerably
greater length.
2. The municipality has a responsibility to ensure that its licensing powers
for such a business are not used in such a way that the taxi service
deteriorates because of the availability of too many licenses.
