Hungarian Parliament to tackle bill that seeks to ban Uber

Portfolio
Hungary’s Parliament will be in session on Tuesday and Wednesday this week and it will also address a bill that seeks to put Uber out of business. The on-demand, application-based cab service has drawn the ire of taxi drivers that are holding a traffic blocking demonstration in the capital city again. The bill seeks not only to have the application blocked but also to have the driver’s licence of Uber drivers confiscated if caught.
On the basis of the bill the municipal and county government offices would be granted the right to block Internet content providing access to operator services such as Uber. Undre the bill, the blocking would be done by the National Media and Communication Authority, the same way it does in the case of criminal cases and illegal gambling sites.

Uber drivers who get caught would receive 9 penalty points, the same as if they had caused an accident. It takes 18 points to lose your driver’s licence. Uber has recently collected 30 000 signatures in protest of the government’s plan to ban the service.
