Yes. The new Administration came up with three tactics to convert UberX drivers to the legal local alternatives.
First — Working with the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ Investment Commission to cancel Uber Inc.’s foreign investment, citing their failure to declare as a transportation company;
Second — Working with the Ministry of Finance try to sue Uber Inc. for tax fraud. This is the tactic some other cities have done — saying they have part time employer tax responsibilities that they have not been doing;
Third — The Ministry of Transportation keeps fining UberX drivers for operating illegally — this works even under the deregulated app-based dispatch law, if Uber Inc. does not register as a local company.
