In England, Uber is licensed as a minicab firm (taxicabs you can hire on the street, minicabs you must order through an operator, and the Uber app acts as the operator). Uber play completely fair with the regulation here (maybe the regulation was never as onerous as in the states). You can generally see on the side of the vehicle that it has the licensing from the appropriate council. The council won't license a minicab that doesn't have insurance.
- barkingcat 11y agoThat means Uber in England at least is obeying local laws. In other countries Uber is not registering and licensing as the local equivalent of minicab, that's why they are getting banned. I think Uber should want to obey laws in the territories that it is trying to operate in. To not do so is just picking the wrong kind of fight.
