Kalanick lived that philosophy and it showed in the way Uber went into cities across the globe

If that is the one of the core values of Uber, I won't ride with them the next time I have an opportunity.

Oh yes, the latter is the former EIC of Top Gear PH who was in hot water due to a mistaken identity of an eon which is involved sa isang crime (pls recall what is the situation involving that) and he has his own Website.

Dahil siguro mala-Jestoni ang looks ni JD kaya they are envious hehe

Well ira is a staunch defender of the current admin so no surprise of his bias against anything that's giving the gov't a negative image

I watched the osmeña interview at cnn ph and he's got a good valid point. Surprising lang nga iyong outburst nya considering he's suddenly lashing out against the gov't who i understand he supports.

Medyo ironic nga lang kasi osmeña sees the ltfrb act as an insensitive imposition of imperial manila , w/c is now headed by fellow true blue visayan speaking brethren from davao

enough of the ride-sharing crap

alam naman natin ang private car di mo pwede basta gawing pampasada

may batas yan

so effectively, ang ginawa ng uber, nag violate siya ng batas

tapos sasabihin ni James Deakin new technology daw, LTFRB didn't catch up to new technology daw

ang ginawa ng uber gumawa siya ng taxi company na hindi sumunod sa batas

yun na yun

ang "innovative" lang na ginawa ng uber is gumawa sila ng app that matches people who need rides with people who provide rides

yan lang ang ginawa ng uber

may tawag dyan --- AHENTE

ahente lang si uber

innovative my ass

if you sell rides to the public you gotta get a permit

what the hell is so hard to understand

Uber is officially a cab firm, says European court - BBC News

Uber is officially a transport company and not a digital service, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled.

The ride-hailing firm argued it was an information society service - helping people to make contact with each other electronically - and not a cab firm.

Uber Dealt Blow as EU’s Top Court Rules It Is a Transport Company - WSJ

BRUSSELS—Uber Technologies Inc. suffered a major defeat in its effort to overturn strict rules and licensing requirements in Europe, after the bloc’s highest court Wednesday ruled the ride-hailing company should be regulated as a transportation service, rather than a digital service.

This I totally agree. Their justification os that they're using an app and private vehicles BUT the app is just a tool, a medium to get a ride and is no different from physically hailing for a cab, only digitally. Now from the side of private vehicles is that they're contracting them and the uber drivers/riders are charged with a fee(parang flag down rate) diba. It's a dressed up taxi service designed to appeal to the masses who are fed up with the traditional. It couldn't even be tagged as a "ride sharing" app/service because you're paying a fare.

Ride sharing doesn't mean it's free.
