Montreal mayor wants cameras installed in taxis

CTV Montreal: How to make taxis safer City official Aref Salem talks to Cindy Sherwin about measures to increase taxi driver security, following the death of cabbie Ziad Bouzid.

Mayor Denis Coderre has presented his plan to increase security for the city's taxi drivers.

As of August, the industry will abide by a new set of industry standards.

The new rules will have many elements, but what the mayor stressed Monday afternoon is that all taxis will now be outfitted with security cameras.

The mayor says he'd like see this happen by the end of 2014.

Ads will also be installed in vehicles to help pay for the cameras.
