Punjab govt moves to ban Careem and Uber [Update#75]

[Syed1]

It is not so simple.

The government may have come under pressure from the taxi drivers not operating for Uber or Careem, who may have complained about lower revenues.

It may also be that Uber and Careem did not grease the palms of the local authorities adequately, thereby getting them all worked up.

It could be any other reason too, but these two are typical to South Asia.

From what I've heard the two organizations are still providing service, however inside scoop is that a Turkish company called AlBayrak had greased some palms but still wasn't getting a lot of service hence the Punjab government tried to give them monopoly by banning Uber and Careem.
