Uber drivers in Manitoba are set to pay significantly less for their insurance coverage than taxi drivers in the central Canadian province. The proposed rates are subject to approval by the Public Utilities Board. According to proposals from the Public Utilities Board , Uber contractors can expect rates that are a quarter of those paid by taxi drivers, who pay about CAD10,000 the day ($ 20 per cent ) for insurance coverage. Taxi drivers who opt to work within an allocated time window will also pay lower rates under the proposal.
