Burning question: Uber and Grab’s legal statusVietnamese lawyers suggest that Vietnam should manage Uber as a transportation firm using a ride-hailing application, based on the European Court of Justice (ECJ)’s decision that Uber is a taxi service. Thus, ECJ’s decision should serve as a suggestion for Vietnam to build a better management policy for Uber. Duc added that Uber is a technology company operating in numerous countries under the “transportation in collaboration with technology” or technology taxi model. The third is a ride-hailing application in co-operation with private cars without any business licence. In addition, Ta Long Hy, deputy general director of Vietnamese taxi company Vinasun, said the company would persist with suing Uber and Grab for unfair competition.
