In private company, according to ft.com

How much longer are European countries that have banned it and smelly taxi cab drivers going to be on the wrong side of history on this issue?

The point of markets is to serve consumers and investors. Uber does both.

Using guns and the force of the state to hinder such developments is shameful

Read the article- women in Arabia love uber because they aren't allowed to drive

Taxi Union hooligans and Europeans need to get out of the way

lol, kinda a dumb time to put that much capital in a company that very well might be looking at their peak in the rear-view soon.

Wait.

Wait a sec.

So, whether serious or not, Uber has faced some criticism and probably had to jump hurdles to grow and infiltrate some of the cities and states that they're in, right? And then....BAM? 3.5 billion? :lol

That's, that's a big investment
