Italy's Transport Authority told
parliament Thursday it is open to non-traditional transport
networks, such as Uber car-hailing app.
However the service must be regulated to ensure service
quality and safety, the authority said.
San Francisco-based Uber connects passengers with drivers
who use their own cars to provide taxi-like service. It has come
under fire from taxi drivers and licensed car services in many
Italian and foreign cities, who argue it violates existing laws
and undermines legitimate car services.
