Taxis

Taxi drivers take part in a protest against the private taxi company Uber and other apps for alleged unfair competition, in Mexico City, on June 3rd, 2019.

An advocate general at the European Court of Justice declared that Uber is not chiefly a digital platform, but a transportation services company, in a highly influential recommendation to the court.

For many drivers and riders, the convenience that ride-sharing offers is simply too tough to pass up.
