Uber Technologies Inc. is seeking a review of new rules in Bangalore covering the ride-hailing industry, adding a new chapter to its global battle with regulators.
Karnataka, Bangalore’s home state, is requiring ride-hailing startups to provide digital printers, install panic buttons, have taxi signage and provide a feedback register for passengers. The rules are “not only regressive, but also practically impossible to comply with,” Uber said in a June 4 letter to the transport minister, a copy of which was provided to Bloomberg News.
