This is because in the opinion of the organization’s president, Florencio Almeida, the transport hub is unfair to other activities that exist in the market, as cabbies competition.
For this reason the leader of Antral realize why there are multiple protests in several European countries. A scenario that may soon be replicated in Portugal.
The president of the association expects the Institute for Mobility and Transport is aware of how the Uber operates in Portugal and to take the necessary positions in case of disagreement.
If the responsible entities are not pro-active, ANTRAL promises to “give the answer in the street” against a possible deregulation of the market. “Any day we stop having taxis and we become carriers,” he quipped.
Despite the tone of combat service, Florencio Almeida finally satisfied when he learned of the charges that will be practical for UberBlack service: “€ 1.10 per kilometer? Rates of taxis charge less than 50 cents per kilometer “, threw the head.
As explained Uber responsible for the expansion of Western Europe, Alexandre Droulars during the presentation held today, July 4th, the company only provides a service and a platform where people can make money. The Uber charges 20% of the total value achieved during the movements.
The U.S. startup is only available in Portugal UberBlack the service, a way of shifting more premium and an alternative to other forms of transport.
