Uber riders can rest a little easier en route, says the ride-hailing company, after the province approved an insurance plan Thursday that covers paying passengers.

It also makes Ontario the second Canadian jurisdiction after Alberta to give the go-ahead to a policy tailor-made for ride-sharing services, despite ongoing concerns around lopsided regulations and costs for taxi drivers.
