Uber Macau yesterday submitted a petition, addressed to Secretary for Transport and Public Works Raimundo do Rosario, urging the government to legalise its business.
According to Wikipedia, Uber Technologies Inc. is a US multinational online transportation network company that develops, markets and operates the Uber mobile app, which allows consumers with smartphones to submit a trip request which is then routed to Uber drivers who use their own cars.
As of May, the service was available in over 66 countries and 449 cities worldwide. Since Uber’s launch, several other companies have replicated its business model, a trend that has come to be referred to as “Uberification”.
