Procon notified the Uber and 99 to explain, within 48 hours about the offer of the motorcycle taxi service in the city of São Paulo. The companies were notified on Thursday (22).
The municipality cites that the availability of the sport, even with the provisional suspension of justice, appearance “disobedience to a court decision and still without regulation by the São Paulo City Hall ”.

In the notification, Procon requests that companies Suspend the offer of the service throughout the city area and present documents that prove the interruption of the service if it is active.
If proven irregularities pointed out by the agency, the companies are subject to sanctions as Fines of up to R $ 13 million. According to Procon, there is still the possibility of justice to suspend all its activities .
“The argument of the companies, reproduced in articles published in various press vehicles, which maintain the service while awaiting clarification, is not justifiable,” says Procon-SP Executive Director Luiz Orsatti Filho.
In understanding the municipality, the motorcycle taxi needs municipal regulation without prejudice to other state and federal traffic rules, because it represents higher risks to physical integrity and the health of passengers.
In a statement, Uber said that awaits the response of the São Paulo justice about the request of the clarification company on the last court decision that provisionally suspended the service. “Uber informs that it continues to wait for the demonstration of the São Paulo Court of Justice on the request for clarification of the recent judicial decision related to the Motapp service in the city of São Paulo.”

“99 clarifies that it is not breaking any court order and that the service of 99Moto continues to operate legally in the city of São Paulo, while the company awaits clarification of the judge, already formally required, within the period guaranteed by due process of judicial process.”
