Toronto Official Threatens Uber Users With $20,000 Fine

The popular ride sharing service Uber is facing another legal battle, this time in Toronto. Jim Karygiannis, a Toronto city official, is warning Uber riders that they will be subject to $20,000 fines (since the operation of Uber is not officially sanctioned by the city). This may be the first time that a city has issued such a threat against Uber passengers (rather than the drivers). The threat seems to have done little more than create buzz on Toronto talk radio. Toronto is now going into damage control now to protect its image as tens of thousands of International tourists are in town for the Pan Am Games. 

From Wikipedia -

Uber Technologies Inc. is an American international transportation network company headquartered in San Francisco, California. It develops, markets and operates the Uber mobile app, which allows consumers with smartphones to submit a trip request which is then routed to Uber drivers who use their own cars. As of May 28, 2015, the service was available in 58 countries and 300 cities worldwide. Since Uber's launch, several other companies have emulated its business model, a trend that has come to be referred to as "Uberification".
