Winnipeg police spoke with Patricia Nosal, 20, on Monday, and tell CTV News the encounter is not a criminal matter.
For any proposition to be illegal there must be very clear words exchanged during the conversation, police said.
"I would have to offer to pay for sex or prostitution services. I would have to articulate that, I would have to say those words. Without that we don't really have the essence of the charge," Const. Robert Carver said.
Duffy's Taxi said Monday it’s reviewing the incident.
"All accusations are taken seriously and disciplinary measures will be taken if appropriate,” Ram Vallaru, manager of Duffy's Taxi, said in a statement to CTV News. “It would be inappropriate for us to comment any further before we have a clear picture of the other night's events."
The Manitoba Taxicab Board licenses and regulates cabs in Winnipeg.
The organization said to date in 2016 there have been about 200 complaints, ranging from assistance with a lost item, to driver misconduct.
The board said if a customer makes a complaint, it will be investigated. Following a hearing, the board said a driver could be issued a fine, or their taxicab license could be suspended or cancelled.
The Southern Chiefs’ Organization wants to help taxi customers. Pamphlets in six languages are being handed out to 50 community organizations in Winnipeg to help people know their rights.
Pamela Davis said there are a lot of things people don't realize, like how your photo is taken when you get in a cab.
"Every seven days it purges itself, so it automatically gets deleted, so if you need that evidence, you have to move on it as fast as you can," Davis said.
Nosal still doesn't know if the two cabs coordinated, and plans to make a formal complaint with the board. Nosal doesn't want anyone to be scared in cab like she was.
