A consumer trends study in Portugal shows that 11% of those companies surveyed already use Uber, the controversial app that has caused Portugal’s taxi drivers to protest en masse.
The study showed also that "49% of companies surveyed consider they would use Uber.”
This left 40% of companies saying they would not use Uber as they saw the transport system as unfair competition to Portugal’s traditional taxi service providers.
The taxi drivers’ association has been protesting in Lisbon, Oporto and Faro against Uber which, according to the taxi drivers, continues to operate in Portugal despite an adverse court ruling that prevents its continuation.
