Living in a populated city warrants efficient and affordable public transportation. That is why in 2009, Uber launched its company in the most populated cities around the world. Today the company operates in parts of the United States, India, Australia, and Canada.
Unfortunately enough, Uber is under fire nationwide as it continues to be subjected to countless lawsuits and protests.
One of the consistent issues with Uber is its ties with the city in which it operates in. The company has been notorious for not receiving permission and licenses from cities.
Uber began to operate in Columbia early October. The company was told to wait 30 days before charging customers to allow the city time to establish regulations, but only offered free rides for a week. Since it was launched, has not received permission to operate in Columbia.
Earlier this week four drivers were arrested for operating illegally in Columbia.
Taxi drivers around the world have participated in protests hoping that Uber will abide by the same regulations are instilled for them by the city.
