Ciucu, anunţ pentru companiile de ridesharing: E nevoie de reglementări în Bucureşti - Economica.net

Ciprian Ciucu, the mayor of Bucharest, criticized the unfair competition from ridesharing companies and the lack of local regulatory power. He highlighted the strong lobbying efforts that prevented local authorities from managing ridesharing services effectively. Ciucu argued that while national laws can set a general framework, specific regulations should be under local jurisdiction. He emphasized the importance of local governance in transportation matters, contrasting Bucharest's situation with cities like Vienna and Madrid, where local authorities have regulatory control. He expressed concern that the current setup favors ridesharing companies over public transport, which he believes is more efficient.
