VANCOUVER—Several Metro Vancouver taxi companies have lost a court bid to quash the approvals of ride−hailing operators Uber and Lyft in British Columbia.

Nine cab companies filed a petition asking the B.C. Supreme Court to overturn the decisions of the provincial Passenger Transportation Board that allowed the two major ride−hailing providers to operate.
