Uber Suspends Services in Tanzania Over New Fare Rules
US ride-hailing giant Uber has suspended its services in Tanzania, saying government legislation that raises fares and cuts its commission made it difficult for it to operate. Uber said it made the "difficult decision to pause operations" in the East African country from Thursday. "The pricing order proposed by the Land Transport Regulatory Authority (LATRA) makes it challenging for platforms like Uber to continue to operate," Uber said in a statement on Thursday.
Under the new regulations which come into effect this month, fares doubled to 900 Tanzanian shillings (roughly Rs. 30) per kilometre. Meanwhile, maximum commission for the ride-hailing companies was set at 15 percent from the previous 33 percent. The transport regulator said the changes were aimed at maintaining competition and ensuring affordable taxis.
