Uber Suspends UberPOP Service In Spain After Court Injunction

The yr has ended and what a yr it has been for Uber, the controversial startup has been banned and sued in many countries. And now the company has decided to suspend its UberPOP service in Spain.

Uber 'gives in' to court ruling but will challenge it before long

The ride sharing service said in a blog post that its UberPOP service has been suspended after a court ruling earlier this calendar month that said the service was violating the country'south rules and regulations. The is non the start time Uber has been accused of violating the constabulary, they were sent to court for an illegal startup in the metropolis of Portland and their drivers take been defendant and even jailed in some parts of the world. The primary concern of many governments is the poor background bank check done on the drivers which basically puts the customers in danger (as was the example in India).

According to the weblog post: "The Clan Madrileña Del Taxi requested a court injunction against Uber," the company wrote in a blog postal service. "Today we have received the formal ruling and, in compliance with the December 9th order from the commercial gauge and in respect of the law, we are temporarily suspending uberPOP in Spain"

UberPOP is the European version of Uber X. Uber 10 is a service that uses normal everyday vehicles and gives passengers an selection of splitting bills. The service was introduced in Spain in Apr last yr (2014) and was under pressure level always since. The visitor said that they are "temporarily suspending" their UberPop service in respect of the law but they intend to appeal the court injunction so that they can give "Spaniards access to condom and reliable rides". Here's what the visitor has to say about UberPOP:

"uberPOP allows Spaniards to share their ain vehicles with their peers to create more efficient cities. Tens of thousands of riders and drivers in Spain take embraced uberPOP as a new style to access rubber, convenient and affordable urban rides while sharing their vehicles, saving monthly costs, helping to reduce drunkard driving and providing rides to underserved communities"

The company hopes that they can accomplish some kind of a settlement with the Castilian regime then that they can look by the restrictions of new players in the send market and allow Uber to resume its service in the land. Their blog post stated:

 "During this temporary suspension of uberPOP, we will also collaborate with Spanish politicians to develop the modern framework needed to create a permanent home for Uber and the sharing economy — and fortunately Spanish leaders have already been standing upwards for the innovation economy,"

A map of areas where Uber has been banned, Spain tin now be added to this fast growing list.

The company's decision to collaborate with the government was rather unorthodox and it seems Uber has inverse its approaches of either ignoring authorities or taking them head-on, peradventure the company has learned a lesson or two from the incident in Bharat and the hefty fines in Portland. The CEO, Travis Kalanick recently spoke of 'the new Uber' and how he volition make changes for the amend, let's hope Uber learns from its mistakes and makes up for them this year.
