Taxi and limousine operators will pay $50 less per year to keep each vehicle on the road, according to the B.C. government.

On Monday (June 29), the transportation ministry said the annual licence renewal fee would be cut from $100 for each vehicle, with no overall vehicle cap, to $50 per vehicle with an annual cap of $5,000.

More to come.
