Land Transport Dept bans Uber online taxi booking service

The Land Transport Department has banned the Uber Taxi app and its online taxi booking service following a meeting with the Information and Communications Technology Ministry, the Business Development Department and the 11th Army Circle.

The Land Transport Department reasoned that drivers of Uber taxis used illegal taxis and their fares did not meet the standard while the drivers do not have public service driving license.
