(Bloomberg) — Toronto is asking a court to order the mobile car-booking service Uber Technologies Inc. to shut down in North America's fourth-largest city.
Uber has been operating in Toronto since 2012 without a proper license, the city of Toronto said yesterday in a statement on its website. The notice cited concerns about Uber's operations including a lack of driver training and vehicle inspections, inadequate insurance and increased traffic from the additional cars on the road.
“The city is concerned that Uber's operations pose a serious risk to the public, including those who are signing on as drivers,” officials said in the statement.
