Uber does not give up and launches a new challenge to the Courts and taxi drivers Italians. After the closure of the UberPop app, Carlo Tursi, general manager of Uber Italia, surprisingly announces the company's intentions: to create a ad hoc ride sharing for the Jubilee.
A move that will surely create further uproar after the vicissitudes of the last few months: not only the blocking of UberPop, but also the abandonment of Benedetta Arese Vicini, former manager of the application.
How will what has now been called work UberJubilee? The product is currently under development and was designed for the needs of Rome, a city where, underlines Tursi on the pages of Republic, “only 28 percent of mobility is covered by public transport”. The ride sharing project involves the participation of NCCs (rental with driver), who do not have a license from the Municipality and, according to what was announced by the general manager, will be cheaper than UberBlack, the service for the rental of sedans and vans driven by drivers professionals. The basic model is just UberPop, the app closed after the controversial sentence of the Court of Milan which, among other things, questioned the safety of younger users. At this point, therefore, the controversy seems assured.
But there's more, because Tursi also promises the arrival of UberEats, a service that will allow you to order food through the Uber app and have it delivered to your home in just ten minutes thanks to a logistics network that can rely on drivers.
