(Digital Marketing Agency, thesnsgroup.com)- San
Francisco-based Uber, a ridesharing company which allows passengers to summon
cars using apps on their smartphones rather than calling a taxi firm, has recently
suspended its service in America’s Nevada in a setback that would reportedly cost
nearly 1,000 jobs.
In spite of its popularity, Uber faces stiff opposition
from taxi companies and some officials who argue the upstarts do not face the
same stringent regulations as do traditional cabs, and insurance companies want
their drivers to carry more expensive insurance policies.
"It's unfortunate that Nevada is the first state
in the nation to temporarily suspend Uber," spokeswoman Eva Behrend said
in a statement, adding the shut-down would cost nearly 1,000 jobs.
"We remain committed to working with Nevada's
leaders to create a permanent regulatory framework that affords Nevadans the
flexibility and innovation offered by Uber."
