Uber the famous service of private drivers also in Asia

Uber the famous service of private drivers has begun testing its taxi calling app in Seoul, the startup’s second stop in Asia.

Uber launched its testing phase in trendy Gangnam district with its first celebrity passenger, footballer and Olympic medalist Koo Ja-cheol. The company will spend the next few weeks testing out its operations in South Korea’s capital with a limited fleet of cars.

 

But all is not always good…

The operators of one of Boston’s largest cab companies are suing the smartphone app maker Uber Technologies Inc., which lets users request a taxi or livery service. The traditional cabbies contend the start-up is running an unlicensed car service and ignoring virtually all of the government rules that have been in place for years.

Peter Faris, CEO of Szabo Faris LLC Transportation Solutions, is an independent driver who works with Uber.
“Uber has found a way to insert itself in the taxi business in Boston without living up to all the responsibility that cab companies have,” said Sam Perkins, the lawyer for Boston Cab Dispatch Inc. and EJT Management, which combined have about 500 taxi licenses under the Boston Cab brand. “It’s not hard to see Uber’s vision. It’s a fascinating vision, but it’s a dangerous one.”

Uber declined to comment on the lawsuit.
