From the City of Burlington’s City Manager, Tim Commisso, and Burlington City Council
Residents may have recently heard the news about Burlington Taxi needing to close their doors, ending this taxi service effective Friday, Nov. 26, 2021 at 5 p.m.
As one of Burlington’s main taxi services, Burlington Taxi was a key member of our business community and has been a valued contributor to our local economy and connectivity for more than 50 years. They provided a much-needed service to residents.
Staff have been working on amendments to the bylaw to facilitate the temporary transition to another taxi service and will present this to Burlington City Council at the earliest opportunity.
Council has directed staff to continue to take all necessary and reasonable measures to update bylaws and policies to create the conditions for the return of a taxi service to Burlington as soon as possible.
On behalf of the City of Burlington, we would like to thank all Burlington Taxi staff, drivers and owners for their contribution and dedication to our community.
