Toronto city council's new Uber regulations won’t drive up the ride-sharing service's prices in Toronto, Uber Canada's general manager says.

In a written statement sent out to customers on Wednesday, Uber Canada’s general manager Ian Black assured UberX users that the prices would stay the same.

“We deeply appreciate your support and look forward to our continued growth in Toronto. Everything you know and love about Uber, including prices, will stay the same,” the statement read.

On Tuesday night, city council voted in favour of legalizing the ride-sharing service in Toronto but ordered that the service's minimum fare be no lower than $3.25, the city-regulated base fare for traditional cabs.

Uber Canada spokesperson Susie Heath said that while the base fare for UberX is $2.50, the minimum fare is already $5 so the city's new rule will not impact fares.

Heath said when the regulations come into effect, there will be an additional "city fee" of $0.30 per trip added to the fare.

In Uber's statement to customers, Black added that 90,000 Torontonians signed a petition to keep Uber in Toronto and 10,000 people contacted their local councillor directly to voice their support for the ride-sharing service.

Black went on to thank the mayor for “leading city council” on the crucial vote.

“We also commend city staff and Toronto city council for their leadership in modernizing our city’s transportation laws,” Black added.

But not all councillors were satisfied with the results of Tuesday night’s vote.

Coun. Janet Davis says members of the public are the ones who will be most negatively affected by council’s decision.

“All along there were two factions and what happened yesterday was that the interests of those who had a lot at stake won out in the end,” she said.

“I think the public and the drivers were the ones who lost and that’s unfortunate.”

Her comments were echoed by Ward 14 councillor Gord Perks.

“We could have gone a way that helped Torontonians more and that helped the people who work in the industry more. Instead, the mayor decided to lower consumer protection, to make conditions worse for the workers in the industry and help out people who have a lot of money,” he said.
