Tech company Uber, best known for its car service mobile app, is currently facing a myriad of issues around the world. The company's growth skyrocketed since it started, that has come with lots of problems.
India, Uber's largest client outside the U.S., recently banned the service after an Uber driver allegedly raped a woman in their country.

But it is not just Uber's car service rental that is affected here because according to a speech made by India's Home Parliament Minister Rajnath Singh. His department has ordered states and other union territories to ban all app-based car services unless they have registered their company with the department of transportation.
Even in America, the company is also facing some allegations when district lawyers in Los Angeles and San Francisco pressed charges against them for misleading their customers. They want the company banned until they have complied all business rules under California law. According to the district attorney, they are misleading their customers for saying they are screening their drivers well, so they are sure they don't have criminal records.
Other places that banned Uber are Thailand, Spain and also Portland, Oregon. They all filed different charges against the company.
Uber said in the middle of all these accusations against them, that they are integral and that their customers can guarantee safety with their services. They are also very stable in the transportation industry of California and they will continue to discuss all concerns with the regulators of the state.
As of the moment, the worldwide issues going on against the company are threatening its goal of earning big internationally in the coming years. The real dilemma is that although the company could possibly just hire new employees and improve the quality of their service since they can afford it, they will still find it hard this time to win the favor of transportation regulators who has the last say for their operation.
