Response to Calgary City Council’s proposed ridesharing bylaw
Calgary, like the rest of Alberta, is going through a difficult economic period. At the time of the injunction, Uber was connecting 1,800 Calgarians with flexible earning opportunities. If the city were to support progressive regulations that ensure safety, it could immediately facilitate thousands of income opportunities at a time when many Calgarians are most in need.

Behind the Wheel with Uber Calgary Drivers
As we work to bring Uber back to Calgary, we have been continuously overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and dedication from our driver-partners. Here are some of their stories.
Keeping Calgary’s roads safe
As the holidays approach and temperatures drop, now more than ever, Calgarians need to make the right choice before getting behind the wheel. And so, on Nov 13th we headed to National on 10th with our Intoxbox breathalyzer to raise awareness about the importance of not drinking and driving.
uberX Service Temporarily Suspended
An Alberta court has ruled against ridesharing driver-partners in Calgary. While this decision is unfortunate, we acknowledge the ruling and will suspend operations effective Saturday, November 21st. We will work with the City on establishing a regulatory framework that will allow Uber to resume operations as soon as possible.
