As tech workers and tech users, we share an interest with many British Columbians in seeing on-demand ride services like Uber become part of the range of transportation options in our province. Our experience in the tech sector gives us a distinct perspective on the wide range of peer-to-peer, on-demand and sharing services that will be knocking on BC’s doors in the coming years.
Many of us have more in common with the people who end up working for or using peer-to-peer services than we do with the business owners and venture capitalists who stand to gain from opening BC’s market overnight. And we recognize that doing so would cost British Columbians our one opportunity to shape the way peer-to-peer services transform BC’s economy, so that this change benefits as many people as possible?—?not just the people creating the apps and the investors funding them.
