Format, years and the law

Format
9999, for example 3249 (9 any digit)

The green ground is the decode, business, tour and rental service cars, the plate a visitor sees on hotel shuttles and hire cars. The two white letters carry no category of their own; they just walk the series forward, with the province written below.

The format above is broad: a registration that fits it has the right shape, which does not show that this series issued it.

Years issued
Documented since 2011; the format is likely older than the first year documented. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Taxi: for-hire vehicles where separately serialized or colored. Issued for car, van, and bus.
