Uber ridesharing app comes to Poland

US company Uber, which manages a so-called ridesharing mobile app, has launched services in Poland. The application is designed to connect passengers with car drivers, regardless of the permits they possess. The company says that its services are meant to be part of new trends in city development. Uber is already present in 176 locations around the world. Meanwhile, taxi drivers in these cities often organize protests against Uber’s activity. In Poland, they claim that the service is illegal as the commercial transportation of people requires a specific permit.
