If taxi app Uber had waited a few more days, it could have said it operated above the law in 2014.
However, in its first defeat of 2014 it chose to suspend its services in all of Spain in “respect of the law.”
This is rather strange for a company, which has continued operating in many countries, especially in Europe after being slapped with injunctions to stop offering its UberPOP ride sharing service.
UberPOP, mostly offered in Europe so far, is different from the U.S. services because almost anyone driving around in their car can pick up passengers and make money from it—quite an ingenious concept.
If other countries adopt Spain's approach, Uber will soon face some real problems in Europe with UberPOP.
