Too hasty to fine: taxi driver complains about parking pressure
A local taxi driver has said the city is inflexible and too eager to hand out tickets.
Nabil Nabate said he was threatened with a fine if he didn’t plug the meter outside the bank on Central Avenue last week, even though he claims his customer was just going in for a few minutes to get cash from the ATM.
He said the city’s bylaw officers should understand taxi drivers provide an important transport service, and often for those who are disabled or have mobility issues.
