Ride-sharing service Uber faces a limited suspension in New York City over allegedly failing to adhere to requests from the city's Taxi & Limousine Commission.

Between the period of April and mid-September 2014, five of the six Uber bases failed to provide to the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission any electronic trip data, legal documents allege. The Taxi & Limousine Tribunal, a division in the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings, handed down a ruling on Tuesday, saying that Uber would need to suspend those bases until the company provides the data and each base pays a $200 fine. The one base that complied with the commission's request is still in operation and handling all rider requests, putting added pressure on that base.

"Uber continues to operate legally in New York City, with tens of thousands of partner drivers and hundreds of thousands of riders relying on the Uber platform for economic opportunity and safe, reliable rides," an Uber spokeswoman said. "We are continuing a dialogue with the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission on these issues."

Uber operates bases across New York City from which it dispatches drivers to users. While many cities in which Uber operates allow the company to solely offer a digital service, pinging drivers wherever they are to pick up users, New York City requires Uber to operate from bases where drivers first check in before picking up passengers.

The major difference in Uber's operation was part of a deal the company struck with the City and the Taxi & Limousine Commission to continue to operate in New York. The Commission took issue with Uber as a new competitor to traditional taxis and limousines. It's a common refrain in other cities around the world where Uber faces criticism from taxi companies. While some cities have been more welcoming than others, Uber frequently has had to make concessions.

At issue in New York City is the requirement to provide ride data to the commission. Uber has said publicly that it should not be required to provide such data, arguing that such information is trade secrets that could be used by competitors. The tribunal, however, says that the data it's requesting -- where drivers have picked up customers -- is not a trade secret.

Worldwide, Uber has been facing increasing scrutiny and has been banned in places like New Delhi, India, and Spain.

It's unclear whether Uber's other NYC bases will provide the requested information. The Tribunal has said it will allow those bases to operate again once the requested data is collected.

what about the regular mafias, where did they go? what dirt is uber collecting on city officials, are the officials getting reimbursed for uber rides while fining them? are city officials taking uber instead of their uncle's cousin's taxi that they mighta helped out with their licence?

these are a bunch of generalizations about things i dont really understand, so i guess ill do some reading. the uber lols are fun to read, but theyre ringing hollow the more i realize uber probably wont totally fail.

i'm not sure what you mean here.

simply put uberx is plainly illegal almost everywhere. they're able to continue operating for a few reasons, mostly because the penalty for breaking the law is just a monetary fine in most jurisdictions, and no one really cares enough to make a big case of it. in the few jurisdictions where they're actually challenged and face criminal penalties for operating they've stopped and are throwing amazingly expensive lawyers into the process.

given enough time fighting their legal battles and lobbying the right people in the various jurisdictions they'll probably end up allowed to operate "legally" by virtue of having the laws changed. then we'll spend the next 10 years re-learning the lessons of 80 years ago and slowly regulating them back to some semblance of sanity.

or more likely at some point before then they'll implode from lack of actual revenue and an unsustainable business model and we'll see a dozen smaller knockoffs try the same thing in areas where the legislation has already been changed to allow them to operate.

notice that they didn't mention privacy at all. instead their excuse is that the ride data is a trade secret that their competitors could exploit. they're barely even trying to hide the stalking

the system is slow and generally quite generous to businesses, doesn't usually have a "gently caress this, they're blatantly flaunting the law, let's skip all warnings and notice periods and just bring down the hammer" option, and uber hasn't really been around THAT long

a city council might take months to decide to sanction uber if it doesn't meet requirements X and Y, and then when they finally say "do X and Y or else", uber says "sure we'll do X and Y, just give us a bit of time", which buys them a few months before anyone notices they made no progress toward X and Y, GOTO the start of this paragraph.

even when the city gets sick of it, the court system works at about the same pace. if you have money to burn on lawyers and fines, it's easy to exist in noncompliance for a few years by just stalling for time and drawing out the warnings and compromise periods as long as possible, and uberX (the part that breaks all the laws) has only been around for two years or so
