New York Times: Uber banned in Berlin
Uber banned in Berlin. Hermann Waldner, CEO of taxi.eu and Taxi Berlin, said:
Hermann Waldner, who heads one of Berlin’s leading taxi services, agreed that competition was always better, but insisted that it must be fair and could only be so if all drivers were subject to the same regulations.
‘‘Anyone who is willing to play by the rules is welcome in the market,’’ Mr. Waldner said. He said his company certifies drivers after educating them on passenger relations and ensuring they know the main city landmarks and streets. Uber, he said, relies solely on technology to get passengers to their destinations.
