As of October 12th, 2023, the City of Toronto is not issuing new rideshare licences. This licensing pause is temporary and there exists many other ways to earn through rides and delivery. You can still pick up riders in multiple areas of the GTA, including Brampton, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Pickering, Ajax, and Oshawa and make deliveries with Uber Eats and UberConnect trips all across the GTA, including the city of Toronto.
