Although I no longer ride Uber, I'm shocked that the service is banned from the entire country: on one hand, I'm glad Uber is being reprimanded for constantly side stepping laws, but I'm worried that other services (i.e. Lyft) will be banned too; in this instance, Uber was banned (it appears) due to fear of competition, not for breaking laws.
- pjmlp 10y agoThe Italian law specifically states how a service where people pay to be transported should work, if Über wants to operate in Italy, it just has to follow the local laws like everyone. I am fed up of corporations that think otherwise.
- Markoff 10y agoi am in same position my fellow European it's funny how are Americans here defending Uber breaking laws in Europe, where most people agree with regulating it so they won't break laws and have unfair advantage over taxi, any idiot can drive illegally car and charge less than company which need surcharge taxi insurance, taxi license, car of specific color and standard,etc. now i am not big fan of taxi (public transport FTW) and still think most of the taxi drivers are thieves if given opportunity, but thanks to taxi apps I don't need to worries about it, not sure where some completely illegal service like Uber fit here
