Legal TREND. Are ride shares a platform or a transportation company? One Court expected to call a spade a spade.

The Court: The European Union’s highest court

The issue- is ride share a platform or a transportation company? Legal pundits expect the court to rule that ride share companies are transportation companies.

What will be the impact? Stricter regulations apply to transportation companies

Why are pundits now paying attention to this? “An influential advisor to the court, Advocate General Maciej Szpunar, has published his opinion on the case” and that opinion is not good for ride share.
