It took about five minutes to hail an illegal ride in Richmond.

Dear Editor,

Re: “Illegal ride-hailing easily accessible,” News, March 24

Illegal ride-hailing in Richmond has been an issue for several years.

The city is not interested in proactively pursuing bylaw enforcement or they would have done so by now.

It is much easier to just raise property taxes to increase revenue rather than create an effective bylaws branch.
