Uber (DE.UT8) to expand in Italy through deal with the country's largest taxi dispatcher - 25 mai 2022

The deal will allow IT Taxi’s 12,000 taxi drivers to accept trips through the Uber app, covering 90 cities across the country, according to a statement released Tuesday. It follows a similar deal Uber agreed in New York in March. The company also has partnerships with taxi groups in Hong Kong, Madrid and San Francisco. For years, Uber has faced opposition from Italian taxi drivers. 

The company was the target of protests from taxi drivers in 2017, who accused it of engaging in unfair competition. That same year, an Italian court blocked the company over anti-competition concerns, but this was later overturned.
