O Futuro da Mobilidade Urbana e o Caso Uber

Abstract

The essay examines the most relevant legal questions related to the rising of the UBER model in the urban transport system. The study concludes that the act of national policy of urban mobility (Lei n. 12.587/2012) has instituted the public service of individual passengers transport as a genre, being the traditional service of taxi only a class. The act allows alternative models of services of individual passengers transport, such as the UBER model. However, to the extent that it is a service of public utility, it can and must be organized, regulated and controlled by the Government, even with the creation of entry regulation mechanisms.
