BOGOTA - Uber has told the Colombian government it is considering taking its dispute with the Andean country to international arbitration, the company’s general manager for Latin America told Reuters on Monday.
Uber departed Colombia on Friday after a court in December ruled the company had violated competition rules and ordered it to cease operating. Prior to its departure, Uber said it had 2.3 million active users in Latin America’s fourth-largest economy, as well as 88,000 drivers. “We want to come back but it is a question of when and how,” he said. “When? As soon as possible. How? That is up to the government. They could resolve it today if they wanted.”
“In contrast to the measures taken against Uber, other companies from Colombia and elsewhere have not been subject to the same treatment and continue operating in the country,” Uber said. “This will allow our competitors to grow their market share in Colombia at Uber’s expense.”
