In this week’s war on Uber, Seoul government seeks ban

July 20, 2014

But Seoul is not alone in opposing Uber. Brussels and Berlin, for instance, have banned the service, and there have been anti-Uber demonstrations by taxi unions in New York City and Washington, DC, as well as cities in China and Europe.

“This temporary setback in Asia and Europe is not new to Uber as it faced similar situations before in the U.S. cities,” Parks Associates analyst Harry Wang told us. “These bans and disputes may be just temporary in nature and a bargaining chip to have Uber sit down in order to find a long-term solution.”

From the article, "In this week’s war on Uber, Seoul government seeks ban" by Barry Levine.
