A Turin court on Wednesday
rejected multinational Uber's appeal against Italian taxi
drivers over the UberPop ride-hailing app, banning its use in
Italy because it constituted unfair competition. A Milan court
first banned the app in Italy two years ago. Uber said, however,
that its Italian business would not be unduly affected because
"the UberPop model has been amply superseded for two years now".
Italian taxi drivers have been fighting against Uber and have
staged a series of strikes. Another one is scheduled for
Thursday.
