As far as I understand, in the US Uber is a dude with a car and a drivers license, who installs an app on their phone and starts driving people around. In European countries I know Uber is just another way to call a taxi.
Big difference. I'd say it's not too wrong to say that the "dude with a car who installed an app" model is mostly outlawed.
Indeed, in their defense, thet have bowed down to some regulators and are run like a business now in places. After being strong armed and forgetting to pay taxes, but props for that, fair enough and honorable. Just that its subsidised by pirating maneuvers in other places.
Sometimes, Americans and american businesses do not understand the social leaning eu countries, the people have worked hard for generations to keep people like uber(yes , people, we know behind companies are people) at bay and they know why. People want to be able to live off of one full time jons salary, no matter the sacrifice.
They also want to their neigbors to have the same privilege, they dont want their neighbors to rob them.
And if it does not work, then the social system shall serve as a fallback.
Nothing to do with lack of work morals, it is a different mind set.
