Today (25) the City Council of Rio de Janeiro will do the second vote of the bill that regulates the public service of paid individual transport. The project has already been approved in a first discussion on the 21st and imposes fine ranging from R$3 thousand to R$7 thousand for drivers and companies that offer services such as Uber.
If approved again today, the proposal goes to the mayor for evaluation. Eduardo Pais. According to G1, more than 50 taxi drivers were parked outside the City Hall to follow the second vote.
O Uber criticizes the posture of power legislativo. According to the company, requests were filed twice (on August 10 and 21) for a public hearing at the Rio de Janeiro City Council and both requests were not granted.
“We believe that for a bill to meet the needs of improving urban mobility and fostering innovation, it must be widely discussed not only among legislators but with the actors involved and, above all, listening to the wishes of the population.” says Uber in a post on your blog.
Similar projects aimed at banning Uber have already been vetoed in the Federal District, by Governor Rodrigo Rollemberg, and in Vitória (ES) by Mayor Luciano Rezende. The app debuted last week a new service option on Rio and Brasilia, the uberX, which offers even cheaper rates.
