Taxi service in Oliver and Osoyoos could improve considerably in the near future with a new company eying the communities.
Penticton taxi operator Kulvir Panaich has proposed to put four new vehicles on the road between the two municipalities — three hybrids and one wheelchair-accessible van.
The Town of Oliver has been without a dedicated taxi operator since 2010 when the town pulled Oliver Taxi’s business license over complaints of drinking and driving.
Since then, Osoyoos taxi has served the community with its fleet of five vehicles.
Panaich is before Osoyoos council Monday to request a letter of support from the town in his application before the B.C. Passenger Transportation Board.
“More taxis will result in quicker responses for residents and if Mr. Panaich provides this in an eco-friendly and accessible-friendly way it would be a benefit to the community,” said director of corporate services Janette Van Vianen in her report to council.
The new company would bring the first wheelchair accessible taxi van to the two communities.
