jpd80 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 https://www.concisenews.global/business/eu-court-declares-uber-taxi-service/ The European Union court on Wednesday ruled that Uber is a transportation firm rather than an app, meaning it should be regulated in like manner. Local reports say the US-based Uber had flouted regulations and the judgment comes as one of its drivers admitted to attempted rape and murder of a British embassy staff heading home from a night out in Beirut, Lebanon. “The service provided by Uber connecting individuals with non-professional drivers is covered by services in the field of transport,” said the Luxembourg-based European Court of Justice. This could have huge ramifications for Uber and other ride share companies in Europe as well as other regions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probowler Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Uber is a taxi company only so far as government is willing to transform it so via burdensome regulations... and after that point the entire concept will basically be dead.
