TOFINO & WHISTLER — Following the recent announcement by the Passenger Transportation Board, Whistle has proudly become the inaugural ride-hailing company in BC to receive an operating license.
With its roots in Tofino BC, Whistle is set to debut in Tofino initially, with subsequent plans for a rollout in Whistler, as outlined in the company's application. The service will gradually extend operations throughout the year to include the nearby communities of Ucluelet, Pemberton, and Squamish.
Founder of Whistle, Dylan Green, elucidates, "Having previously helmed an inter-city bus enterprise in Tofino for 15 years, I am deeply familiar with the transportation challenges faced by resort towns during peak visitor seasons such as holidays and weekends. I view ride-hailing as a fresh transport alternative that can present tangible solutions for Tofino, Whistler, and their environs."
In resort locales, ride-hailing represents not only an efficient transit option for tourists and guests but also a beneficial resource for local residents who often must commute beyond their communities for work, courtesy of shared rides. The advent of ride-hailing, with its capacity to enlist numerous casual drivers utilizing their private vehicles, promises to ensure a sufficient vehicle presence during peak demand periods for small transport operators.
"The potential of smartphone applications to unite individuals in overcoming longstanding transport obstacles is remarkable. The Whistle app aligns with industry benchmarks by swiftly linking passengers with accredited drivers and providing transparent fares directly from passengers' smartphones. Travelers can opt for shared rides to help reduce costs for residents who frequently commute from surrounding areas for work," notes Mr. Green.
With a professional background spanning bus operations across 40+ BC communities, Mr. Green acknowledges the paramount significance of driver training to expand the roster of licensed drivers. Whistle is actively recruiting drivers from Tofino and Whistler regions. Given the emphasis on safety in the new ride-hailing regulations, sourcing qualified drivers with suitable vehicles will require time. It is anticipated that numerous local drivers will eagerly participate in launching this novel transportation sector, relishing the autonomy to drive on their schedule using their vehicles while retaining a major share of the fare. Aspiring drivers can register on whistle.ca.
Embarking as the first ride-hailing entity in BC represents both a substantial responsibility and a substantial opportunity for this small local venture. We are appreciative of the chance to introduce ride-hailing services in Tofino and Whistler.
