Context

Country: Canada
State/Province: Nova Scotia
Period: This plate presumably used 1952.
Canada: In Canada, taxi driver licencing is a provincial responsibility often delegated to the municipal level. Yarmouth, NS began licencing taxis in 1952, issuing license plates. Badges [see 2004.0170-.0171] were briefly used [period undetermined], before the city returned to issuing licence plates. Winnipeg licenced taxis as early as 1881: horse-drawn street cabs were regulated, but not livery cabs. Jitneys, which travelled a predetermined route and admitted & discharged passengers along that route for a small fee, were a popular means of public transportation in Canada until they were banned c. 1915.
Function: Certifies that holder has met all requirements of the taxi bylaw pertaining to that municipality, for a specified period.
Technical: Unknown
