VTV.vn - The European Court of Justice has decided to categorise Uber as a transport company, rather than a mobile app.

That means that Uber and Grab cars are also taxis. In Vietnam, before the pilot period of Uber and Grab ends, the Ministry of Transport held an event to review this business model.

This was seen as an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss with the Ministry of Transport, before the ministry issues, or submit policies about this type of business to higher authorities.

The authorities have not identified what kind of business Uber and Grab are, as they all have servers in foreign countries, so they cannot be controlled and taxed; while the number of vehicles employed via these apps has increased, citing claims they add to traffic congestion.
