U.S. taxi and limousine services are seeing a boom in business from customers seeking to enter Canada by land to avoid a restriction on international travel that applies only to air traffic.
While both Canadian land and air travellers are required to take a test within three days of departure, and again on arrival, only those flying to Canada must spend up to three days of the country's 14-day required quarantine period in a hotel.
That has led to a surge of calls for taxi and limousine services from Canadians who fly through U.S. airports in states like New York and then cross over the land border,
"They call from six in the morning to 12 at night," John Arnet, general manager of 716 Limousine in Buffalo, N.Y. said. "We've had so many requests for border crossings that we're turning them down."
The company now does more business driving Canadians to their homes in Ontario than with U.S. clients.
Meanwhile more cases with the strain running rampant through India get discovered here.

In a statement to CTV News Toronto, Public Health Ontario (PHO) says 36 cases of the B.1.617 have been identified in the province in the last few days.
Of those cases, six were detected through PHO’s genomic surveillance program. The agency says the cases were all linked to international travel.
The other 30 cases were identified through the province’s airport and land border screening programs.
Close the fucking border.
