CALGARY – Calgary councillors are set to debate proposed amendments to a city bylaw which would allow ride-sharing company Uber to operate legally.

Proposed changes to the city's Livery Transport Bylaw will be presented at a Monday meeting of city council.

The amended bylaw would force Uber drivers to undergo police background checks, be properly insured, hold proper Class 4 licences and have their vehicles undergo safety checks.
