In a turnaround that has left taxi drivers’ unions in disarray, the government said today that Uber, the web-based transport service, will be fully legal and operational by the end of the summer.
In response to taxi drivers injunctions to halt Uber in its tracks, the government agreed to set up a working party, usually the kiss of death to any new initiative, which has decided that Uber indeed is the way forward for customer choice and to mark Portugal as a go-ahead country that embraces changing ways of doing business.
